Protecting Your Privacy and Security Online

Always use a strong, unique password for each online account. Consider using a password manager to generate and store these passwords securely.

Look for the padlock icon in your browser’s address bar. This indicates a secure HTTPS connection, encrypting your data as it travels between your computer and the website.

    Only buy medications from reputable online pharmacies with verified licenses and certifications. Check for reviews and customer testimonials. Never use public Wi-Fi for sensitive transactions like purchasing prescription drugs. Public networks are often insecure. Be wary of phishing scams. Legitimate pharmacies will never request your personal information via unsolicited emails or text messages.

Regularly update your antivirus software and operating system. This protects against malware and vulnerabilities that could compromise your data.

Review your credit card and bank statements for unauthorized charges. Report suspicious activity immediately. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) wherever possible. This adds an extra layer of security to your accounts. Be mindful of the information you share online. Avoid posting sensitive personal details on social media or public forums.

Use a virtual private network (VPN) to encrypt your internet traffic and mask your IP address, especially when accessing websites from unknown or public networks.
