Use security software
Install security software on your computer. Now antivirus software is free! ! He can protect us from the virus to some extent.
Use public Wi-Fi carefully to send sensitive data.
Europol warned that public Wi-Fi is not safe. However, when we sit at McDonald's and browse the web, check emails or log in to Weibo, security is not our first consideration.
However, it is "too easy" for hackers to obtain sensitive data of users by monitoring public Wi-Fi networks or setting hotspots with similar names, including account information, payment passwords or financial details.
In addition, you must know that public computers can install some software that you don't know at all to monitor your online behavior.
Double verification system
The traditional authentication system only needs one kind of authentication information, such as password. Double authentication requires users to provide two kinds of information that can prove their identity. Because the possibility of losing two types of identity information at the same time is much lower than that of losing one type of identity information, this double authentication method can greatly reduce the security risks faced by the system.
Although it will be a bit troublesome to use dual authentication, it can prevent your account from being illegally accessed when you are caught in a phishing website or the original password is leaked.
Destroy all kinds of bank receipts and living bills in time.
The information on bank receipts, utilities bills and other documents is very useful to those "dumpster divers". They won't mind going to the garbage bin to collect these data, because these data can be used to forge your identity, so they may access your account.
In addition, your pre-approved credit card is also likely to be fraudulently used in different places, which will not only destroy your credit history.
Don't reveal the password to others.
This is easy to understand. Don't disclose your online banking, Alipay, social media and email account to others.
Beware of phishing websites and counterfeiting activities.
Phishing websites are the most commonly used means for cyber criminals to defraud money and steal personal information. Sometimes they pretend to be a well-known company and send an email with a link to the victim. If the victim clicks on the link, he will go to a seemingly legitimate website. At this time, the website is likely to ask you to submit relevant sensitive information, such as name, phone number, ID number, bank account details and so on.
Should you receive such an email from the bank and call the bank to confirm it? Remember, most companies and banks will never ask you to provide comprehensive password or account information by email.
Download software only from reliable sources.
Speaking of downloading software, you should download it from a reliable website. If you download it at will, you will probably find that your system has been invaded by Trojan horses or implanted with malicious code. If you are not sure whether a website is reliable, search it and you will get the answer.
Update the software in time and fix the vulnerabilities.
Update not only antivirus software, but also browsers, operating systems and third-party applications to ensure that your system vulnerabilities have been fixed when attacked.
Make sure your wireless network is secure.
Don't think that the router must be safe in your own home. You should make sure that the router has turned on WPA encryption, so as to better prevent someone from surfing the Internet or monitoring your network without permission. You know, it is very likely that your detailed personal information will be stolen.
