Hai and Assalammualikum!
Safety is the state of
being "safe" (from French sauf),
the condition of being protected from harm or other non-desirable
outcomes. Safety tips
is the tips on how you can apply on your daily doing to avoid from being victim
of cybercrime. Here’s a few thing on how and when you can do it when you are on
the situation.
There’s have a lot of safety tips
that we had found from our research. From itnewsafrica
website, there have a few tips to prevent cybercrime. First, a secure
computer will deter cybercriminals. That’s mean you need to activate your
firewall or antivirus to protect your computer from various virus like Trojan,
malware and any else. Other than that you may regularly updating computer.
While keep the computer up-to-date it doesn’t mean that will protect you from
all attacks but at least it can be more difficult for the hackers to hack your
computer. For example, for iPhone user there will notify you when there’s have
a new iOS update available to your phone so than that the advantage to update
your software to keep you to keep safe online.
Next, you need to be social media
savvy. Social media savvy is you need to follow what trending now or you need
be up-to-date person. But, all your private information, contact number or else
be on private mode. It’s just to make sure all your private data safe and
there’s no misuse from the irresponsible person. You better watch out what you
want and will post. Once it is on the internet, it’s hard to remove it. Be
careful guys! Secure your mobile devices. Use password or download a GPS
application on it. For the iPhone users, you need to connect your Apple ID with
your iTunes, if your phone is on lost mode then you can find it later. Please
don’t put your pin number, passwords or your own private information on your
mobile devices it might be dangerous if your phone are on the stranger’s hand.
Furthermore, protect your own data.
Use encryption for your most sensitive files and always make a back-up for all
your important data and stored it in different storage or location. While using
the public Wi-Fi hotspots please be aware of what will you do while using this
hotspot and avoid from access your personal data or corporate public transaction
on the network. It’s just to make sure there’s no misuse of your own data. We
doesn’t know whether the public Wi-Fi is safe or not. Since the high cost of
living so they will do anything just to make sure that they have some money to
survive. For example, when you are using the McDonald free Wi-Fi there’s have a
login ID to log in the Wi-Fi.
PayPal and websites like it act as
intermediate to online vendors. Anyone who has ever forgotten their PayPal
password knows how many security hurdles you have to jump through and it’s
serious about the security. If you don’t want to use PayPal or are buying from
a vendor that doesn’t accept it stick to using a single credit card. This
isolates your risk to one account and if you pick one with the good security features
you’ll be alerted as soon as something bad happens. For example, every
transaction that you used need a transaction numbers that send towards your
phone number that have been registered under the card name.
Nowadays, we are exposed with online
shopping like LAZADA, Fashion Valet, and others more. Make sure the websites
are secured while using or you’ve enables privacy settings. Please be cautions
while giving out your personal information to others. Always think or just
ignore before click the pop-up link or file of unknown origin. You didn’t know
where the sources from and maybe it can be scammer. Never reply the emails that
ask you verify your personal data especially the bank card numbers. When in
doubt, verify the sources or call the right person to help. Report to the local
police if you encounter illegal Internet content or if you suspect such as
computer crime. If you need help with maintenance or software update on your
computer consult with a professional and certified technicians.
Otherwise, the identity of online
crimes can be revealed if you can trace once after your data is stolen or when
the first use of information attempted. So, the tips that you can do is you may
review your online banking history or credit card statements regularly provided
the bank. Other than that, there’s bank that will call you once you use the
bank card. They will make a check with you whether you had spent some money
using the bank card and they will give you a details to make a confirmation.
Please don’t take this call lightly since they are the one who protecting your
bank card from fraud or misuse. For example, when you are busy while shopping
than you didn’t notice that your bank card dropped out somewhere and someone
are using your card but then the officer of the bank call you to make a
confirmation so you know that there’s someone are using your card than you may
trace who are using the card. So, the user may be arrest as soon as you make a
confirmation.
Furthermore, report any suspicious
activity. Prompt and detailed reporting of suspicious activities can help
prevent violent crimes or terrorist attacks. If you see suspicious activity,
please report it to your local police department. Local law enforcement
officers can respond quickly. Asked for the security procedures and asking
question about sensitive information such as building blueprints or security
plans. For example, if you going out alone and was followed by others, please
make a report for your protection since they can robbed you to get your
personal data like credit card to generate cash.
Prevention is always better than
cure. It is always better to take precaution while operating the net. Capacity
of human mind is profound. It is not possible to eliminate cybercrime from the
cyberspace. It is quite possible to check them. History is the witness that no
legislation has succeeded in totally eliminating crime from the globe. The only
possible step is to make people aware of their rights and duties and to guard
ourselves so that crime has no effect on us. Last but not least, don’t let
yourself be targeted by criminal. Take care yourself in whatever you do and
whenever you are!
Much Love,
