Tips to avoid one day being a victim of cybercrime

  • Choose strong passwords. The more complex your password, the more difficult it will be for others to guess it and thus prevent the theft of your personal data. Whenever you go to choose a password, combine uppercase, lowercase, symbols and numbers. It is best not to use the same password on all your accounts, or include dates of birth, anniversaries or phone numbers.
  • Be careful with the information you share on your social networks. Configure the privacy of each of your accounts so that your information cannot be seen by anyone. Never publish data or images of the area where you live, address and telephone number.
  • Avoid connecting to public networks. Many places offer free Wi-Fi access, but as tempting as it may be, be careful, you don't know who can access your devices or what security measures they have. If you still decide to connect, never enter private data or access banking services, email and social networks.
