How to avoid these hacks in your personal life

🎣Cybercriminals send emails pretending to be from reputable companies to trick you into revealing personal information such as passwords and credit card numbers.

To avoid this always verify the sender's email address and look for signs of phishing, such as poor grammar or urgent language.

Don't click on links or download attachments from unknown sources.

🔒Attackers use various methods, such as brute force or dictionary attacks, to guess your passwords.

To avoid this use strong, unique passwords for each account.

A strong password should include a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters.

Also, consider using a password manager to generate and store complex passwords securely.

🛜Cybercriminals can intercept data transmitted over public Wi-Fi networks, capturing sensitive information like login credentials and personal data.

Avoid accessing sensitive accounts or conducting financial transactions when using public Wi-Fi.

If you must use public Wi-Fi, use a virtual private network (VPN) to encrypt your data.

👨‍💻Attackers manipulate individuals into divulging confidential information through deception and psychological manipulation.

To avoid this be cautious of unsolicited requests for personal information, whether they come via email, phone or in person.

Verify the identity of the person by requesting a trusted source before providing any information.

👹Malicious software, such as viruses, worms, or trojans, can infect your devices and steal or damage your data.

To avoid this install and regularly update reputable antivirus and anti-malware software.

Be cautious about downloading software or opening email attachments from unknown or untrusted sources.

Keep your operating system and applications up to date with the latest security patches.

By following these tips, you can significantly reduce the risk of falling victim to these common hacks and protect yourself
