Daily Security Tip #33: Security like an onion

You can run, you can hide, but you’ll never be 100% protected against cyber attacks.

*Don't fall for marketing tricks.*
No matter how much a security product will claim to make your system bulletproof, be warned: that there's always a fine print written at the bottom. No system is impenetrable.

Of course, this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take all the necessary measures against cyber criminals. It’s just that you shouldn’t rely completely on them.

*Try a multi-layered security approach, onion-style.*

If one layer falls, you’ll always have another one set up in place, that will protect you.

Daily Security Tip #27: Untrusted sources

There’s an app for that. But where does it come from?

Never, EVER install apps, on your computer, phone or tablet from untrusted sources.

Always Turn off Unknown Source Installation in Setting>Security>Unknown Sources

Rule of thumb: always use official websites and official app stores to download and install apps. Fake apps can pack malware, adware and other types of infections you do not want on your PC/tablet/phone.

Daily Security Tip #25: *Bad, bad ads*

Did you know that attackers can inject malicious code or malware-filled ads into online advertising networks and websites?

This tactic is called *malvertising* and it can get your computer infected with all sorts of malware, Trojans, and so on

*How it happens:* you browse your favorite website at FavoriteWebsite. com and there are many ads on it. But one is infected. The malicious code in the ad will search for vulnerabilities in your system. If it finds one (and it’s not difficult to do so), it’ll infect your computer with malware.

*What to do?*

1. Use an adblocker.
2. Use a reliable antivirus.
3. Use protection against attacks that antivirus can’t block.

Daily Security Tip #24: Ramp up your privacy

Privacy ≠ security

But privacy can improve your security.

Get it done: use a VPN (Virtual Private Network) to protect your online identity and activity. Useful if you have to use public Wi-Fi or want to be anonymous online.

This will help provide an additional layer of data encryption that can keep you safe from MitM (Man in the Middle) attacks.

Daily Security Tip #21: Less spam, less problems

*Is spam clogging(block) your inbox?*

There are a couple of things you can do to remove most of it out and keep your inbox and devices safe:

• Open an additional email account that you use for newsletters subscriptions, online shopping or social networks. This will help you keep your most important email account safe
• Be careful where you submit your email address
• Unsubscribe from any unnecessary newsletters
• Use filters and mark emails as spam to help your email provider block it more effectively
•NEVER click on links in spam emails
• NEVER download and open attachments in spam emails
• Disable the automatic downloading of HTML graphics in your mails
• When using social media, enhance your privacy settings so no one can see your email account
• If you have a website, protect your email address from automatically being scanned and harvested by spammers.

Spam campaigns are still *one of the main attack channels that cyber criminals use* , so less spam means you’ll be a bit more secure.

Daily Security Tip #14: *Ransomware*

Ransomware is one of the biggest cyber threats out there. What it does is it encrypts ALL your data and locks you out. It also asks for a ransom, typically between $200 and $500, to give you the decryption key.

*To protect yourself against ransomware, do this:*
• Do frequent data backups (in multiple locations)
• Don’t keep vital information only on your computer
• Never access .zip attachments in e-mails from unknown senders
• Don’t click links in e-mails from unknown senders
• Keep your OS and apps up to date at all times
• Use a reliable antivirus
• Add another layer of security with a product that protects you from attacks that antivirus can’t block.
