Protect your online Privacy and Identity

Posted by CyberGhost VPN - Daniel Ionica in Tips

Every month thousands of cybercrimes are reported so you should try to protect your identity as best as you can so here are a few steps that you should take:

1. Don’t share your birth date with 3^rd parties. It’s a good tool in a cybercriminal’s skilled hands.
2. Secure your passwords. Weak passwords for an account or for the backup email for that account or for the backup of the backup email for an account are an open door. You should secure them using password managers like KeePass or PassPack.
3. Geo-location Services should be used with caution.
4. Use private browsing if you are accessing information in a cybercafé
5. Mobile apps should be installed only from the official app store or market. Hacked versions of paid apps are a backdoor for other…activities.
6. Sensitive information should be sent only over https.
7. Social network privacy settings: you should have more control on who sees what about you.
