Security Tip #1
Security Tip #2
Do you ever worry about your emails security?
When you use an email address for multiple accounts there is a greater likelihood for it to be in a data breach.
Security Tip #3
Ever felt like your brain is turning into a not very good password vault?
Do you constantly need to do forgot password?
It's time to let a password manager do the heavy lifting.
Imagine never forgetting a password again and knowing your accounts are protected from prying eyes.
Password managers are very often free tools (Bitwarden/Google Password Manger/1password) that create and store your passwords for you!
You create one strong password to protect your password manager and you're good to go!
Security Tip #4
Don't share that!
Are you posting a relatively harmless (or so you think) picture of your birthday cake? It tells the world when you were born.
Did you know you use that as a way of identification with your bank?
Or perhaps you are sharing a life milestone? An image of your child? Will your child be happy for their photos to be changed using technology to something not so good?
Think before you post!
Security Tip #5
So you think it'll never be you?
That's what most people think when it comes to falling for phishing scams.
"Nah, I can tell...."
With the rise of AI, phishing emails have become more and more sophisticated. Gone are the days of Spelling and Grammar mistakes scattered across phishing emails. (Although you still have those Nigerian Princes 🤣)
No matter how bright you are you can still fall for them!
Some tips when dealing with a potential phishing email.
1. Were you expecting the email?
2. Is the domain it's coming from a legitimate looking domain (hint: the domain comes after the @ sign in an email address) the
3. Hover over the button to find if the link it is directing you to is where you want to go.
4. Check the account directly without clicking the link in the email.
Security Tip #6
Ever had that sinking feeling that your smartphone is nowhere to be found?
Was it lost/stolen?
What sensitive information do you have on it?
Where to start? You have no idea...
Things to do before...
1. Put MFA on all sensitive accounts.
2. Have a way to track the phone (Apple- Find my Apple - Android - use Google's Find my device)
3. Keep a list of all sensitive accounts signed in on the device and your backup method for signing in (Including but not limited to: Apple ID/Google Account, banking apps, Health apps, SmartHome apps like maybe your door key :), photos of your ids/credit cards...)
Things to do once it happens....
1. Use your find my app to track the device and shut it down.
2. Pull out that list of sensitive accounts, sign the mobile out of them and change your passwords!
3. Call your mobile provider and see if they can help you with tracing and/or removing your phone number from the phone.
4. Alert any really sensitive accounts (like your bank) of your stolen phone
5. Alert your family and team members that your phone is no longer in your posession and they should be wary of scams.
