Social Media: Your Personal Information Matters

We love sharing our lives online, but let’s be smart about it. Think of your social media as your digital front porch – you wouldn’t leave your front door wide open, right? Here are some quick tips:

  • Be selective about friend requests. If you don’t know them, you don’t need to connect.
  • Check those privacy settings. Make sure only the people you trust can see your posts.
  • Hold off on those vacation updates until you’re back home. No need to advertise an empty house.
  • Those fun “get to know me” quizzes? They might be fishing for your secure account information. Skip them!

Wi-Fi: Not All Networks Are Created Equal

Public Wi-Fi can be convenient, but it’s like a digital wild west. Here’s the scoop:

  • Avoid banking, shopping or checking sensitive accounts on public networks.
  • At home, change those default router passwords. “Password123” isn’t going to cut it!

Email: Don’t Take the Bait

Scammers are getting craftier, but you’re craftier still:

  • Urgent emails demanding immediate action? Take a breath and verify.
  • When in doubt, call the company directly using a number you trust.
  • Never click suspicious links or download unexpected attachments.

Phone and Text: Stay Alert

Scammers love to catch you off guard:

  • Unknown number? Let it go to voicemail.
  • High-pressure tactics? Hang up.
  • Government agencies won’t text you out of the blue.
  • Never share personal or financial information with unverified callers.
