Strong Passwords Crucial to Prevent Cyber Fraud
Cybersecurity experts advise using strong, unique passwords, updated every three months and not linked to personal details or saved directly on computers, to protect personal information from cybercriminals.
Strong passwords are vital for keeping your personal information safe. Yet, many people unknowingly take risks that help cybercriminals get their personal and banking details.
It's crucial that your passwords aren't linked to personal dates or information. Criminals often research their victims, and using personal details in your password makes it much easier for them to guess. Also, saving your passwords directly on your computer can be riskier than you think.
Cybersecurity experts suggest changing your passwords every three months. Regularly updating them helps reduce the risk of fraud and gives you peace of mind. What's more, never use the same password for different accounts.
Authorities remind everyone that if you come across any scam, you can get help by calling 091.
