By simply adopting these five habits of practically unhackable people, you too can have better security.
- Think before you click. 95% of hacks are the result of clicking bad links, so make sure to check that it’s the right URL and never click on links from people you don’t know.
- Make sure site URLs start with “https” rather than “http.” That “S” stands for secure, so don’t skip it – especially if you’re going to enter any personal information.
- Use a different, strong password for each account. Practically unhackable people always do this as a best practice and to keep track of them all; they use a password manager.
- Make two-factor authentication your best friend. Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security to your accounts – and you deserve it. Two layers are always better than one.
- Know when to use a virtual private network, or VPN. A virtual private network encrypts your information, which is especially important when using public Wi-Fi.
