Stay alert online. Don’t overshare sensitive info. Protect your passport, National ID, birth certificate, and bank cards. Identity theft is real—stay safe, stay smart. #GoldenPosts @UgCERT @UCC_ED #StaySafeOnline #ProtectYourself @GCICUganda

Some learning apps collect more data than needed. Choose verified platforms, limit app permissions, use guest profiles, and review settings to keep children safe in digital learning spaces. #COP @UCC_Official @ConsumerUCC @MoICT_Ug @GCICUganda @UgandaMediaCent

Following recent developments, Uganda Communications Commission reminds the public that responsible use of communication platforms still matters. Let’s use digital platforms to build, not harm. Report misuse to UCC or the Uganda Police. #DigitalSafety #ResponsibleUse #UCC #uccyange | @UCC_ED

Ok Thanks #GoldenPosts my people protect

Limit what you share online. Posting passport details, National IDs, birth certificates, credit, & debit cards can expose you to identity theft and fraud. Protect your personal information. #StayVigilant @UCC_Official @ConsumerUCC @MoICT_Ug @GCICUganda @UgandaMediaCent

Set a strong password Weak passwords like '1998' are easy to crack, but a strong one like '23eC4' keeps your phone & personal data safe from thieves. #Cybersecurity #UgCERT #PasswordSecurity @UgCERT cert@ucc.co.ug #GoldenPosts

@Namanyaluc @ConsumerUCC @UCC_Official Thank you @Namanyaluc. For more information follow the link here: ug-cert.ug/the-importance…

That “1998” style password is exactly what attackers try first, simple & guessable. The stronger mix (like “23eC4”) is better, but aim for longer phrases, a mix of cases/numbers/symbols. Your phone’s lock is the first line of defense; make it count. Stay safe! #GoldenPosts
