Using the internet to shop or do other activities has become commonplace. Even to register on an online site, you have to provide personal data. Unfortunately, providing information on the internet is not always safe. If you are not careful, there will be bad people who misuse this information. To prevent unwanted things, take the steps below:
Use social media wisely
Social media has now become a place to share every detail of its users' lives. Even information that you think is safe to share, for example a birthday or a location, can be misused by irresponsible people or groups. To avoid this, set security personalization on your social network accounts. Make sure you have your settings in place before you upload anything that contains personal information.
Do not use your credit card for all online transactions
When making purchases online, always ensure that the site you use is safe and reliable for entering your credit card information. To avoid undesirable things, you can limit the nominal value for online shopping. This reduces the risk if someone steals your credit card information.
Use cloud storage to backup data
In case your device is lost or damaged, backup all your important data to cloud storage. You can use Google Drive, Dropbox, or iCloud, where you can upload data and access it from anywhere in the world as long as the internet network is available.
Perform a factory reset and complete wipe
Deleting something from a computer or device does not mean permanently deleting the information on the device's engine. Before you sell or give the device to someone else, make sure that the drive is completely clean and that you have performed a factory reset so that the device returns to its original settings when you bought it.
Security password
Currently, many sites require you to create a complex password before registering. Some sites now also require you to create complex passwords, for example with a combination of capital letters, numbers and a predetermined minimum length. Additionally, make sure you use different passwords for all important accounts such as bank accounts or emails. The most important thing is, avoid using birthdays, names of family members, or other identities when creating passwords.
