Security measures that users can put to use immediately
Good security measures start with constant preparedness and vigilance

Be prepared
Avoid common password pitfalls
-
Set complicated passwords
-
Using a password that contains personal information, such as a date of birth, that could be publicly accessed from a social networking site, for example, is extremely risky. Avoid setting passwords that contain only alphanumeric characters in the order they appear on a keyboard, or simple words.
Manage your email and social media accounts appropriately
-
Ensure that an active email address is registered
-
Periodically check to ensure that the email address you registered is still active. You will not be able to receive important notifications or emails regarding 2-step verification if you register an email address that cannot receive mail.
Strive to keep your internet-connected devices as secure as possible
-
Keep the OS of your computers and smartphones up-to-date
-
Updating your OS (operating system) provides better security, etc., including bug fixes that plague older operating systems. Also make sure that the applications you use are up to date.
Be vigilant
Be vigilant of scams and deceptive tactics
-
Be wary of suspicious websites and emails
-
Check the URL, etc., to determine whether the site is legitimate before resetting passwords or credit card information. Keep in mind that service providers will never call or email you to ask for your password or credit card information.
Be cautious of what information you send
-
Be cautious about posting any personal information, etc., on social networking sites or internet services
-
Once your information is on the internet, it may be impossible to remove (due to copies, screenshots, etc.). Ensure that any images you post do not include any personal information or images that could be used to identify your location.
Keep a close eye on your child's internet usage environment.
-
Enable device security settings and safeguards
-
Enable the security settings and safeguards available on your child's computer or smartphone. To protect against online information security risks, keep track of the apps your child uses and their internet environment.
