These days, it seems like you can't go a week without hearing about another major cyber security breach. With all of the sensitive information that we store online, it's more important than ever to make sure that we are doing everything we can to protect ourselves from hackers.

So what can you do to keep your information safe? For starters, you should make sure that you are using strong passwords and that you are not reusing passwords across different accounts. You should also enable two-factor authentication whenever possible. Additionally, you should be careful about the information you share online and be sure to only share information with trusted sources.

By taking these simple steps, you can help keep your information safe and help protect yourself from the ever-growing cyber security threats.at a large company. The incident became known as the 2022 data leak. The leaked data included customer names, addresses, dates of birth, and Social Security numbers. The data leak was caused by a software flaw that allowed hackers to gain access to the company's customer database. The company was not able to prevent the leak, and as a result, their reputation was severely damaged.

The leak was a wake-up call for companies about the importance of data security. Since then, data security has become a top priority for businesses of all sizes.

Do we really know who our cyber security partners are? Is the info I send over email safe? What about my online transactions? How do I ensure I am not being charged extra fees by credit card companies, banks and even Google's Adsense? Do you know what protection you have behind your passwords? Are you sure your personal information is secure?
 When it comes to dealing with the online world, you may think that you are protected. But you should always question who your cyber security partner is. We are here to help answer some of these questions.
 You need to understand how your cyber security works before you start using it. Your privacy is at risk every time you visit an online site. There is no guarantee that the website you are visiting is secure. Even if they claim to be secure and trustworthy, there is nothing stopping them from selling your data on the black market.
 We recommend that you use a VPN (virtual private network) service. A VPN encrypts your internet traffic and sends it over the network, keeping it safe from hackers. Using a VPN gives you access to a huge range of services, including free Wi-Fi hotspots; however, many providers charge extra fees. Find out whether a provider offers free Wi-Fi now.
 To further protect yourself, don't give out any personal details while signing up to a service or completing an order. Make sure that your username and password combination does not consist of obvious words or numbers like 'password' or '12345'. Choose something longer, random and unpredictable. Add a little twist to your username – try adding a number between 0 and 9. If your account name consists of just letters, make sure that it isn't the same word used anywhere else on the Internet. Try variations of your surname or first name. Don't write your full address, phone number or date of birth either. Make sure to change your password regularly and store it somewhere safe.
 Make sure that your computer is fully updated - including anti-virus software and firewall settings. This helps keep your PC safer and can prevent hacking attempts.
 If you want to log onto your bank or credit card accounts, then make sure that you sign in to each site separately. Also, look out for hidden charges and fees. Check what you're paying for and find out whether you can get a refund.
 You could also call customer helplines. They'll let you know if your payment method is safe and secure. Look for phone numbers printed on the back of your cards and on the packaging. Always check the terms and conditions of a product or service before buying anything.
 Checking out reviews of products or services is another way to check their safety. Read comments from previous users and see if there are negative ones. Look up ratings and reviews on sites like Trustpilot and Yelp. If you find lots of negative feedback, move on to the next option.
 Don't share sensitive information online unless you absolutely have to. Avoid posting personal details on social media websites and don't tell anyone your secret passwords. Instead, use a different password for each website and use strong passwords to protect your identity. Never post pictures of your passport or ID card online.
 Ensure that your financial accounts are set up to send alerts to you when an unusual transaction takes place. For example, your bank might notify you if someone tries to add money to your account without your approval. Most major banks offer this service for free.
 Remember to take regular backups of your data. When backing up files, make sure to save copies of the originals. This means that you won't lose any of your work if your hard drive fails. Backups should not only be saved locally, but also stored offsite. Online backup options exist, and you can pay a monthly fee for their protection.
 Always make sure that you're using the right technology when you're online. Mobile phones, tablets and laptops are all vulnerable to cyber criminals. Make sure that you choose a secure device when shopping online. Many retailers will offer you a discount if you buy a protective case for your mobile phone.
 It's good practice to turn off your wi-fi connection whenever you leave your house. A lot of people forget to turn off their wi-fi, which makes their devices more accessible to attackers.
