Although you cannot control everything about your online data, you, as users, have a say in it. The National Cybersecurity Alliance provides the following list of ways you can have control over your privacy.
- Create long (at least 12 characters) unique passwords for each account and device. Use a password manager to store each password – maintaining dozens of passwords securely is now easier than ever.
- Turn on multifactor authentication (MFA) wherever permitted – this keeps your data safe even if your password is compromised.
- Turn on automatic device, software, and browser updates, or install updates as soon as they are available.
- Learn how to identify phishing messages, which can be sent as emails, texts, or direct messages.
