[Mikes smithen]

When trying to make money online, it is very much necessary that we keep ourselves away from hackers. It can totally be true, that we may not be familiar or acquainted with how exactly hackers may want to steal personal information from us in order to threaten our well-being as individuals. In as much as an individual may refuse to make money online so as not to be a victim to online scammers and fraudsters, we also need to understand that online hackers do not necessarily need to exist on most money-making platforms. However, one of the possible places that they exist, are mostly in some of the applications and software apps that we download into our smartphones from the Google Play store or from the Google app store, or from websites and platforms in which we visit either through our Google browser or any other browser that we are fond of. Our personal information belongs to us personally, and when these personal informations gets to the hand of individuals who are totally unauthorised to see them, we may absolutely lose and bear a whole lot of losses. Of course there are safety and precautionary measures that we can possibly use to protect our personal informations from hackers and other unauthorised individuals, some of this safety and precautionary measures include:

ENABLE TWO-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION: Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for your online accounts, which requires an additional code or password to access your account, beyond just your password.

KEEP SOFTWARE UP-TO-DATE: Keep your operating system, apps, and antivirus software up-to-date to protect against known security vulnerabilities.

BACKUP YOUR DATA: Backup your important data regularly to protect against data loss due to a cyberattack or other incident.

USE STRONG PASSWORDS: Use strong and unique passwords for your accounts and avoid reusing them across different platforms. Consider using a password manager to generate and store your passwords securely.

USE ENCRYPTION: Use encryption to protect sensitive information, such as financial transactions or personal data, when sharing them online.

1. Use strong passwords: When creating accounts or logging on to websites, be sure to create unique and strong passwords that include a combination of numbers, symbols, and alphabetic letters (upper and lower case). Never use the same password for multiple accounts.

2. Enable two-factor authentication: Many websites are now offering two-factor authentication which inserts an extra security step between you and your account. Whenever you’re logging in from an unfamiliar device, this additional layer of protection acts like a gatekeeper helping to secure your online information.

3. Install anti-virus software: Installing high quality anti-virus software helps protect against malicious attacks by disabling spyware and alerting users when suspicious activity is detected on their system.

4. Keep your computer updated: Implementing updates regularly can help keep your system safe from newly discovered vulnerabilities hackers may be able to exploit if they come across them in older systems with outdated software programs installed on them. Be sure to install updates for all the programs and applications you use as soon as they become available – including operating systems, web browsers, plugins etc.

5. Avoid suspicious links or emails: Never click on any links in emails from unknown senders as these could be malicious phishing attempts attempting to steal personal information or take control of a device remotely by infecting it with malware/spyware etc.
