      The internet is all about connectivity. But how do you know the website you’re visiting is legitimate, secure and free of malicious software?

      How to stay cyber safe online:

      Only visit trustworthy websites and bookmark them to avoid future typos. Privacy-enhancing browsers or extensions that block trackers may also be beneficial.

      Change the default passwords and enable multifactor authentication (where possible) on your router and connected devices immediately upon setup.

      Be wary of public Wi-Fi hotspots. Avoid using them for online banking or updating social media as hackers may be able to access your information. If possible, use a VPN to encrypt your connection.

      Download software and apps only from official app stores and keep them up to date. Enable automatic updates where possible to ensure you're protected against the latest threats.
