Hello Everyone, in this post I'm going to explain the steps to be safe on online while browsing on internet


🔺So I got an idea to make a post to aware people about how to be safe online. So I will try to cover all the basics steps that we need to implement.

First of all the SMART procedure-

🔸1. S – (Safe) Ensure personal information and passwords are kept private.
🔸2. M – (Meet) Never meet with an online friend in person, even you think you know that person well.
🔸3. A – (Accept) Do not accept emails, instant messages and friend requests from people you don’t know.
🔸4. R – (Reliable) Not all the information or people online are reliable, there is a lot of false information.
🔸5. T – (Tell) Tell a trusted ãdül† if anything online makes you feel uncomfortable.

⭕️Measures you can undertake to stay secure from cyber threats.

🔹1. Use a different password for each account.
🔹2. Important software like browser, payment wallet apps should be updated regularly.
🔹3. Avoid opening links, prizes, gifts or discounts.
🔹4. Download all software from authentic sources, avoid downloading software from torrent sites.
🔹5. While using third party computers or mobiles for browsing use the private/incognito mode.
🔹6. While using third party computers, use an on-screen keyboard while entering important details.
🔹7. Use a good antivirus software suite
🔹8. While logging in to any site check the URL, it should be exactly same as the site you want to log in to
🔹9. Ensure the URL of the site contains HTTPS instead of HTTP
🔹10. Keep up to date to major security breaches.
