Use strong, unique passwords for all your online accounts. Consider a password manager to help you generate and securely store them. Avoid reusing passwords across multiple sites.
Secure your devices
Install reputable antivirus and anti-malware software on all your devices and keep it updated. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) wherever possible; this adds an extra layer of security. Regularly update your operating systems and applications to patch security vulnerabilities.
Be cautious online
Only purchase medications from verified online pharmacies with a physical address and contact information. Check online reviews and ratings before using any online service. Be wary of suspicious emails, texts, or phone calls requesting personal information. Never click on links from unknown sources. If a website asks for sensitive information (like credit card details), ensure it uses HTTPS (the padlock icon in your browser’s address bar).
Protect your personal data
Think carefully before sharing personal information online. Limit the information you post on social media and be mindful of your privacy settings. Regularly review your online accounts’ privacy policies and adjust them as needed. Use strong Wi-Fi passwords and avoid using public Wi-Fi for sensitive transactions.
Report suspicious activity
Report any suspicious activity immediately to the appropriate authorities or the relevant online platform. If you believe your personal information has been compromised, take steps to protect your accounts and consider contacting a credit reporting agency.
