Safer Internet Day - Top tips to stay safe online
Cyber experts at Cumbria Police are reminding people of top tips to stay safe online as an annual day is held to promote internet security.
Safer Internet Day takes place on 10 February – and officers and staff in the county will be educating professionals, pupils and the public to tie in with the event.
Cyber crime and fraud is a growing concern for forces across the UK and advice is issued throughout the year aimed at keeping people safe online.
Key threats include online fraud and exploitation of people, particularly children and young people.
Cumbria Police’s Cyber and Digital Crime Unit has specialist officers who work to combat these threats.
The below tips are taken from the National Cyber Security Centre and are a good place to start.
-
Protect your email by using a strong and separate password. Cyber criminals can use your email to access many of your personal accounts, leaving you vulnerable to identity theft.
-
Install the latest software and app updates. Software and app updates contain vital security updates to help protect your devices from cyber criminals.
-
Turn on 2-step verification (2SV). 2-step verification is recommended to help protect your online accounts.
-
Use password managers. They can help you create and remember passwords.
-
Back up your data. Safeguard your most important data, such as your photos and key documents, by backing them up to an external hard drive or a cloud-based storage system.
-
Three random words. Use three random words to create a password that's difficult to crack.
