5 Tips for secure browsing on International Computer Security Day
INCREASE THE SECURITY OF YOUR PASSWORDS
Passwords are, in most cases, the only barrier between cyber-crooks and your personal data. Increase the security of your passwords for accessing all the online services you use.
And remember: Don’t use the same password for all of your services!
KEEP YOUR COMPUTER’S OPERATING SYSTEM UPDATED
Viruses and malware exploit security vulnerabilities in outdated versions. If you want to avoid this, you need the latest security patches.
Windows, for example, simplifies the task with automatic updates so that you don’t have to worry about it.
DO NOT CONNECT TO UNKNOWN WI-FI NETWORKS

Take precautions and follow these tips for connecting to a public Wi-Fi network.
SHOP ON WELL KNOWN WEBSITES WITH A GOOD REPUTATION
