Weekly Cyber Security Alerts

To secure your home Wi-Fi network: Change the default administrator username and password for your route, enable network encryption (WPA2 or WPA3) and choose a strong passphrase. Disable remote management and ensure that your router firmware is up to date and use a strong, unique password for your Wi-Fi network. Regularly monitor connected devices and enable firewalls on your devices.

To protect yourself from phishing attacks: Be cautious of unsolicited emails, messages, or phone calls asking for personal information. Avoid clicking on suspicious links or downloading attachments from unknown sources. Verify the authenticity of websites before providing sensitive information. Regularly update and use security software on your devices. Educate yourself about common phishing techniques and stay vigilant.

To create strong passwords, use a combination of upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. Avoid using easily guessable information such as birthdays or names. Make passwords long and unique for each account. Consider using a password manager to generate and store complex passwords securely.
