10 Essential Tips To Keep In Mind While Surfing The Internet
Be careful of what you are sharing
Limit the content that you share on social media. Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Instagram, LinkedIn, and other social media sites are part of people's everyday lives. Be careful as many secure sites, require security questions like: "What is your favorite sport?", "What is your paternal grandmother/father's name?", "What town did you grow up in?", or "What is your mother's birthday?" Avoid such kind of common questions for which answers can be easily found on Facebook pages. Learn to choose harder questions that will protect your account. Review the permissions to see what data you’re giving up when installing a network-connected device, such as a home router or downloading a new app.
Shop safely
Unless it has the “https” and a padlock icon to the left or right of the URL don’t shop on a site. Credit card company is more likely to reimburse you for fraudulent charges so, protect yourself and use a credit card instead of a debit card while shopping online.
