Hello folks! Been getting a lot of request lately on how to keep Social Media Accounts safe and i think it basically applies to both PC's, Phones and Servers. Same principles can be of good resource. So here are some tips which can go a long way to keeping you safe on and offline. Remember, security starts with you the end user.

1. Practice good password management. Use a strong mix of characters, and don’t use the same password
for multiple sites. Don’t share your password with others, don’t write it down, and denitely don’t write it
on a post-it note attached to your monitor. Use characters like @!#& with Capital letters and a mix of numbers.

2. Never leave your devices unattended. If you need to leave your computer, phone, or tablet for any length of
time—no matter how short—lock it up so no one can use it while you’re gone. If you keep sensitive information on a ash drive or external hard drive, make sure to lock it up as well.

3. Always be careful when clicking on attachments or links in email. If it’s unexpected or suspicious for any
reason, don’t click on it. Double check the URL of the website the link takes you to: bad actors will often take
advantage of spelling mistakes to direct you to a harmful domain.

4. Sensitive browsing, such as banking or shopping, should only be done on a device that belongs to you,
on a network that you trust. Whether it’s a friend’s phone, a public computer, or a cafe’s free WiFi—your
data could be copied or stolen.

5. Back up your data regularly, and make sure your anti-virus software is always up to date. Use Linux if you wish to avoid Viruses and malware especially when you run a server or productive environment/machine.

external hard drives, and even

7. Watch what you’re sharing on social networks. Criminals can befriend you and easily gain access to a
shocking amount of information—where you go to school where you work, when you’re on vacation—that could
help them gain access to more valuable data.

8. Offline, be wary of social engineering, where someone attempts to gain information from you through
manipulation. If someone calls or emails you asking for sensitive information, it’s okay to say no. You can
always call the company directly to verify credentials before giving out any information.
