Online shopping is the most popular way to shop during the holidays. But as more transactions happen on the internet, there are more chances of getting scammed.
We all want to be safe online and we know how easy it is for hackers to get access to our information. So, we took the time to make a video about how you can stay safe this shopping season.
This video will show you how to use your webcam, phone number, and email address wisely and keep them private from potential hackers. It will also teach you how to protect your credit card information by using a secure browser and making sure that you don't click on links that are not trusted.
Here's a sneak preview of five quick tips to help you stay safe while online:
- Make sure you have a VPN installed and running before you start browsing.
- Never share your personal information with anyone online, even if they claim to be from a trusted company.
- Don't click on links from people you don't know and don't click on any links in emails or messages that aren't from someone you know.
- Watch out for "phishing" scams - these are fake messages that try to get personal information like your bank account number, credit card number, or social security number.
- Use two-factor authentication for all your accounts - this means adding a second layer of protection by asking for something besides just your password when logging in, like a code sent via text message
