Practical tools, habits, and strategies to protect yourself, your data, and your family online.
Fraudulent emails and text messages that trick you into revealing passwords or clicking malicious links account for the majority of online fraud. Always verify the sender before clicking any link.
Using "123456" or your pet's name as a password is extremely dangerous. A strong password is at least 12 characters long and includes a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols.
You don't need to be a tech expert to stay safe online. A few consistent habits — like updating software and backing up files — dramatically reduce your risk.
Fake emails or messages disguised as your bank, government, or a trusted company asking you to click a link or provide personal information.
