Warding Off Web Threats

The internet is a convenient resource, helpful tool, and part of our daily lives. Whether you’re using a mobile device or desktop computer, all your social media interactions, online shopping transactions, and email messages are susceptible to attack.

A Strong Username and Password = Extra Account Security

Here are some tips for creating strong sign-in credentials:

  • Choose a unique username that you don’t use for any other site (and one that can’t be guessed easily). 
  • Use a combination of letters (both capital and lower case), numbers, and special characters (like “&” or “%”) for your password.
  • Never use singular common dictionary words or personally identifiable information like name, birth date, Social Security Number, or email address.

  • Run a virus scan on your computer and remove any threats that it detected.
  • Check your account information frequently and report fraudulent transactions immediately.
