Happy #DataPrivacyDay! 🔒🌐 Is your data at risk? Here are four quick tips to help you stay safe online: 🎣 Report phishing. Opening these “phishing” messages could lead to accidentally downloading malware or giving away personal information to scammers. Remember, if an email offer sounds too good to be true, it probably is. 💪 Use strong passwords. Make your password at least 16 characters long. Simple passwords are easy to guess, so strengthen your security by using long, random, and unique passwords for each account. 🛡️ Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA). Adding an extra layer of security makes it harder for attackers to access your accounts. 🔔 Update, update, update! Keeping your software up to date helps protect against security vulnerabilities. To learn more about staying safe online, #GetCyberSmart and check out @CISAgov’s full guide for more tips and tricks. #SecureOurWorld #Cybersecurity bit.ly/40DWH63
