#BeSecure Tip 10 – Use strong encryption and a unique password for your Wi-Fi network. Always change the default login credentials for your home router. When connecting to public Wi-Fi consider using VPN (Virtual Private Network) as an additional layer of security.

#BeSecure Tip 8 – Regularly update your operating system, web browsers and software applications to minimize vulnerabilities. Cybercriminals often exploit outdated software to gain access to your system and sensitive information.

#BeSecure Tip 7 – Be mindful of the information you share on social media platforms. Don’t post any personal information such as your location, identification documents, or financial information. Cybercriminals can use such information for identity theft purposes.

#BeSecure Tip 6 – Never share passwords or MFA codes with anyone. Legitimate institutions (e.g. law enforcement, government, schools, health institutions, etc.) will never send any emails or texts, or initiate phone calls to individuals asking for such information.

#BeSecure Tip 5 – Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) wherever possible to make it harder for cybercriminals to steal your information. MFA adds an extra layer of security by requiring a second verification step, such as a code from a mobile app or a text message.

#BeSecure Tip 4 – Create complex and unique passwords for your accounts that are hard to guess. This prevents hackers from accessing them and potentially using one compromised password to access all your accounts. Check out senecacollege.ca/besecure for tips.

#BeSecure Tip 3 – Report suspicious emails in your Seneca inbox to ITS using the red fish (Report Spam/Phish) button. Timely reporting will allow ITS to respond quickly on phishing emails and protect Seneca students from phishing scams.

#BeSecure Tip 2 – Be aware of fake job offers and be on alert when potential employers ask you for sensitive information (passwords, bank account, SIN, etc.) or ask you to process a cheque for them before employment. Always check a company’s reputation first before applying.

#BeSecure Tip 1 – Pay extra attention to QR codes as they may contain malicious URLs that redirect you to a phishing page. They could also download malware to your device. Scanning an unknown QR code is no different than clicking a random link.

#BeSecure - October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month. Join us to learn top 10 tips from #SenecaITS. Together, we can build a safer digital community.
