Tips to protect your privacy on the Internet

KEEP YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM UPDATED

Make sure the operating system of your computer or mobile device is up to date. This will protect you against cyber threats. These updates often include important protections against the latest vulnerabilities

USE SECURE PASSWORDS

Use strong passwords of at least 10 characters, including letters, numbers and symbols. Do not include obvious information such as your date of birth or your name

ALWAYS USE TWO-STEP AUTHENTICATION (2FA)

Two-factor authentication (2FA), sometimes referred to as two-step verification or dual-factor authentication, is a security process in which users provide two different authentication factors to verify themselves (your password and another code that is obtain from somthing you have, such SMS or code otbtain from your smartphone). Two-factor authentication adds an additional layer of security to the authentication process by making it harder for attackers to gain access to a person's devices or online accounts because, even if the victim's password is hacked, a password alone is not enough to pass the authentication check

BEWARE OF EMAILS FROM UNKNOWN SENDERS

Be very careful with emails from unknown sources, avoiding clicking on links or downloading attachments

BE CAREFULL WITH PUBLIC WIFI NETWORKS

Avoid making purchases online or accessing services that require entering a password when you are using public Wi-Fi networks (cafes, hotels or other places)

LIMIT THE INFORMATION YOU POST ON SOCIAL NETWORKS

Do not post more information than necessary! Check who can access to your information and publications

DOWNLOAD APPS ONLY FROM OFFICIAL SITES

Only install trusted apps from official sites (official websites or official developers on Play Store or Apple Store)
