Cybersecurity 101 : How to stay safe online

As the world becomes more interconnected , new security threats are emerging . What are the best ways to stay safe online ?

Anyone working with computers these days knows that cybercrime is the new black . As more people become interconnected through technology , cybercriminals , governments , and even corporations are finding new ways to breach computers with , putting people's personal information and fortunes at risk . New technologies like and the Internet of Things ( IoT ) are more at risk than ever .

A 2018 Symantec report highlighted that cybersecurity threats are not only skyrocketing each year , but also becoming more challenging , and hackers are discovering new ways to cover their tracks . Out of the one billion searches done each day , 1 in 13 was infected with malware , often happening via email . Even malware on Mac operating systems has increased 80% and Android mobile attacks have also jumped by 27% in one year alone .

In 2015 , Internet Service Provider ( ISP ) TalkTalk was fined £400 million after hackers stole personal data from 157 , 000 customers , including 15 , 600 bank accounts . One of the hackers was a 16 - year - old boy . The scandal was so bad that the company lost one - third of its stock value , the BBC reports .

attacks are not the only source of cyber threats . With the Cambridge Analytica scandal underway , social media giant Facebook is after a U . S . congressional hearing found it did little to protect its users' privacy from third - party apps that secretly collected data from users . In protest , many users started the #DeleteFacebook campaign , but some analysts don't believe it's that easy . " According to our data , 78% of users would quite like to kick the social media habit , but they feel they can't . For 62% of them , it's just too convenient a tool for keeping in touch with friends and family , " Kaspersky Lab reports .

Here are some of the best ways to stay safe on the internet :

? Antivirus program : As the old saying goes , " The best offense is a good defense . " A solid program with the latest updates and real time computer monitoring is the first line of defense from all kinds of malware . Many top rated companies use complex , machine learning that detect changes in the behavior of computers to stop threats before they can happen .

? Encryption : This protects users when sending and receiving data , messages , surfing the internet , or doing online banking and shopping . You can also encrypt your emails and storage devices so that , if they are stolen , criminals cannot access the data . Many tech companies are using this to protect customers and save themselves from embarrassing liabilities . TalkTalk's huge mistake forced it to take data encryption very seriously afterwards .

? VPN : A Virtual Private Network hides a computer or mobile's , granting users access to restricted websites and encrypting data so that hackers cannot it . People using devices on public networks , online shoppers , and employees working with sensitive information regularly use VPNs to protect themselves from hackers and spies . Conversely , some countries restrict internet access by blocking websites or monitoring activity through ISPs . Each country is different ; therefore , a VPN helps to these restrictions and offer additional security .

? 2 - Step authentication : This safety feature requires two methods to access your account . With it , you can choose to send an email , SMS , or even call your mobile with a verification code every time you login . Microsoft , Google , Apple , Facebook and many others offer this form of protection to their users , and all cryptocurrencies require this method by default for doing transactions .

? Strong password : Not all passwords are created equal . Using passwords like [ your name ] 1234 , birthdays , or even the same one on multiple websites can severely your online safety . Therefore , experts recommend choosing one that is long and complex for each website . " If you reuse your passwords , a hacker can take the leaked data from one attack and use it to log in to your other accounts , " Gary Davis of McAfee mentions . Many also recommend using password managers and changing passwords regularly to keep - hackers at an arm's length .
