You've seen the headlines. You know that hackers have done some major damage to critical systems all around the world. You're not sure what to do, but you feel like you should do something. Well, this post is for you! There are many useful things that one can do in order to protect their personal information, home networks and devices from malicious hackers. This article will go over some of them!--> If you don't already use anti-virus software on your computer system or mobile device, it's time to start. Ensure that your protection is up-to-date and doesn't conflict with other apps installed on your device (although they may be outdated themselves). --> Use updated software. It's common knowledge that software companies are constantly finding new security issues and fixing them. By not installing updated versions of your apps, along with anti-virus protection, you are leaving yourself wide open to malware infection. There are many ways to check if your apps are updated. -->Change your default password for each app or device you have on your personal network or use in public places. If you have a router at home that has publicly accessible network ports, change the default password on it as well. -->Do not use the same password for multiple accounts or devices. You will undoubtedly spend time trying to remember all of your passwords. If one is compromised, that means all of them are. This is not secure and makes you an easy target for hackers. -->Protect your social media channels with two-factor authentication (2FA). Most apps like Facebook, Google, Twitter and others offer this feature, but it's good to know how to use it if you never have before or you don't currently have 2FA enabled on any of these services. Most cellphone providers also offer this feature as well! -->Keep your home computer clean... this means making sure you have updated anti-virus protection, patched operating system and no unnecessary apps running all the time. It's very important to keep your home security up to date! -->Keep your private information private. If you are not comfortable with sharing sensitive information online, don't do it. If it is not meant for public viewing, don't post it. Delete anything that might be considered sensitive once you are done using it. -->Buy a good router! This is one of the most important pieces of home equipment you can buy. The router will sit at the center of all of your devices so it has to be good. -->Use a non-obvious username and strong password. Hackers use many tools to try and break into accounts. One popular tool is called a bruteforcer. This tool is built to guess every possible combination of letters, numbers and characters until it finds one that works. If you can make your credentials more secure, by making them longer and more complicated, the better off you will be! -->If you have a lot of personal information on your devices, consider using a reset disk . These are easy to setup and if one of your devices is stolen or lost, then all of the information on it will be secure. cfa1e77820
