<ul>
<ul>
<li>Always <strong>think twice before clicking on links or opening attachments</strong>. Sometimes all it takes is that extra split second to realize that you might be being tricked.</li>
<li><strong>Verify requests for private information</strong> (yours or anyone’s), even if the request seems to come from someone you know. It is not rocket science to fake an identity, especially online.</li>
<li><strong>Protect your passwords</strong>. Make them long and strong, never reveal them to anyone, and use multi-factor authentication (MFA, also called two-step authentication) wherever possible. Also make sure your passwords are unique i.e. use different passwords for different platforms.</li>
<li><strong>Protect your stuff!</strong> Lock it up or take it with you before you leave, even if you’ll only be away for a second. And password-protect all of your devices.</li>
<li>Keep a <strong>clean machine</strong>! Keep your devices, apps, browsers, and anti-virus/anti-malware software patched and up to date. <strong>Automate software updates</strong> and restart your devices periodically to ensure updates are fully installed. Find out what you need to do, if anything, for devices managed for you.</li>
<li><strong>Back up</strong> critical files. Store backups in a physically separate location from the originals, and test them periodically.</li>
<li><strong>Delete sensitive information</strong> when you are done with it. Better yet, don’t store it in the first place if you don’t need to.</li>
<li>Take a moment to go through the apps you have installed and <strong>delete unused apps</strong>.</li>
<li>Think about what you post online, <strong>the less personal information online the better</strong>. This includes information that can be used to identify/track/scam you (addresses, phone numbers, birthday, etc.). On Wikipedia,<strong> use the preview button, and think before pressing "Publish changes".</strong> You can always self-revert, but what you said may remain.</li>
