Cyber Security Series Part #2

With the rise in social media-based attacks, it is more important than ever to keep your social media secure. There are simple steps you can take to stay safe on social media:

• Use MFA (Multi Factor Authentication) whenever possible. This extra layer of protection can keep your account secure even if your username and password become compromised. Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator are a few examples.

• Use good password hygiene. Don’t reuse passwords and use passwords that are long and complex.

• Think before you click! Remember, if someone is offering you something that seems too good to be true, it probably is.

• Report accounts that appear to be compromised. The sooner the account is returned to its rightful owner, the less damage it can do.

• Be careful what you share. Do not freely give away details that could be used in a social engineering attack against you and be careful sharing personal information that could be used by a threat actor looking to impersonate you.
