Online Safety Advice
The Internet can be a dangerous place, so here's some helpful tips
to make sure you're safe online.
Remember to:
Be careful when downloading programs from the internet incase they carry viruses, always scan the program first.
Use anti-virus software and make sure to renew regularly.
Lock your phone and tablet devices. Keep it locked, just as you would your front door.
Enable two-step verification. If your email or cloud service offers it – Gmail, Dropbox, Apple and Facebook do – take the trouble to set this up.
Never:
Give out personal information online in public forums, such as Facebook and social networking unless completely nessasary.
Give your password to anyone and don't use the same password continuously.
Don't open or download any attachments from an unknown source as they may contain viruses.
Don't let web browsers remember your username and password in any public place as this could leave you open to being hacked.
