Quick Security Tips
Password Tip of the Week
Use passphrases instead of passwords. "CorrectHorseBatteryStaple" is easier to remember and harder to crack than "P@ssw0rd123". Combine 4-5 random words for maximum security.
Current Phishing Trend
Fake "package delivery" texts with tracking links are spiking before holidays. Never click tracking links in texts - go directly to the carrier's website or app instead.
Privacy Quick Win
Check your phone's app permissions monthly. Many apps request camera, microphone, and location access they don't actually need. Revoke unnecessary permissions to reduce privacy risks.
VPN Best Practice
Enable VPN before connecting to any public WiFi, not after. Once you're connected unprotected, your device has already broadcast unencrypted data that could be intercepted.
