Do you have a Google account?Did you know that you can check a recent activity log for your account?

It will show you from what browsers and devices you’ve accessed it, when and from what IP. If there’s something that you don’t recognize there or an old session from a friend’s computer, you can choose to terminate it.

Same option is available for many other online accounts, such as Facebook, Yahoo or Dropbox. Access it to monitor where your accounts have been used and end any sessions that you don’t recognize.

If you also activate two-factor authentication, your accounts will be more secure against intruders.

Nobody will brag about the fact that they navigate in shady online places. But we all know that’s not true, because it starts with P2P sharing websites and ends who knows where.

Yes, I know you can’t wait to see that new show or movie, but P2P sharing websites are still dangerous.

See those pics of strangely intriguing topics? Cyber criminals can infect those banners with malware, even if the rest of the website is clean. And you don’t even have to click to get infected!

That’s not the question. Because the answer is a big, fat NO.
Don’t check in at the airport when you’re leaving for a vacation.Don’t check in on Instagram when you take those holiday pics.
The more data there is about you online, the more cyber criminals can gather and use to compromise you. And even common criminals can use this information to break into your house while you’re away.
And, whatever you do, do not check in while you’re at home! Why would you want strangers to know your exact location?

Did you know that attackers can inject malicious code or malware-filled ads into legit online advertising networks and websites?

This tactic is called malvertising and it can get your computer infected with all sorts of malware, Trojans, and so on.

How it happens: you browse your favorite website at randomwebsite.com and there are many ads on it.

But one is infected. The malicious code in the ad will search for vulnerabilities in your system. If it finds one (and it’s not difficult to do so), it’ll infect your computer with malware.

What to do?
-Use an adblocker (Our fav is Adblock extension! It even blocks YouTube Ads)

-Use a reliable antivirus.
