How to Make the Most of Your Time Online

Think Twice Before You Tweet

What you post online stays online forever. Before you hit send, consider whether your tweet or status update is something you'd be comfortable with your boss, your parents, or your children seeing. If not, it's probably best to keep it to yourself.

Beware of Phishing Scams

Phishing scams are emails or websites that look like they're from legitimate companies, but are actually designed to steal your personal information. Be wary of any emails or websites that ask you to click on a link or enter your login credentials. If you're not sure whether an email or website is legitimate, don't click on any links or enter any information.

Use Strong Passwords

Your passwords are the key to your online accounts. Make sure they're strong and unique so that hackers can't easily guess them. A strong password is at least 12 characters long and includes a mix of upper and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols.

Be Careful About What You Share

Be careful about what personal information you share online. Don't post your full name, address, or phone number on social media. Be especially careful about sharing financial information, such as your credit card number or bank account number.

Protect Your Privacy

Your privacy is important. Be careful about what information you share online and who you share it with. Read the privacy policies of websites and apps before you use them. Be wary of sharing your personal information with companies that you don't know or trust.
