So, I've been thinking a lot about online safety lately. With everything going on in the digital world, it's easy to get caught up and forget about protecting ourselves. I remember the first time I fell for a phishing scam a few years back. It was embarrassing, but it taught me a valuable lesson.
Here are a few tips that I try to stick to:
1. **Strong Passwords**: Seriously, don't use your pet's name or 123456. Try a passphrase or use a password manager.
2. **Two-Factor Authentication**: This one is a lifesaver. Even if someone gets your password, they still can't get in without your phone.
3. **Be Wary of Links and Attachments**: Got an unexpected email with a link? Hover over it before clicking. If it looks sketchy, it probably is.
4. **Privacy Settings**: Check them regularly. Sometimes app updates can change your settings without you noticing.
5. **Public Wi-Fi**: Avoid logging into sensitive accounts when using public Wi-Fi. Use a VPN if you can.
