We are very vulnerable to more cyber attacks in the future. Now is the time to protect and document your personal information that is online because we may be facing many more attacks on our electrical grid, banks, water systems, etc.

 

Protect your online accounts. Here are some tips from FEMA on how to protect ourselves from the cyber boogie man. The following are things you can do now before another cyber attack occurs:

•  Use strong passwords that are 12 characters or longer. Use upper and lowercase letters, numbers and special characters. Use a Password Manager.

• Use a stronger authentication such as a PIN or password that only you would know. Consider using a separate device that can receive a code or uses a biometric scan (e.g. fingerprint scanner).

• Watch for suspicious activity that asks you to do something right away, offers something that sounds too good to be true or needs your personal information. Think before you click.

• Check your account statements and credit reports regularly.

• Use secure Internet communications.

• Use sites that use HTTPS if you will access or provide any personal information. Do not use sites with invalid certificates. Use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) that creates a secure connection.

• Use antivirus solutions, Malware and Firewalls to block threats.

• Regularly back up your files in an encrypted file or encrypted file storage device.

• Limit the personal information you share online. Change privacy settings and do not use location features.

• Protect your home network by changing the administrative and WiFi passwords regularly. When configuring your router, choose the WiFi Protected Access 2 (WPA2), Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) setting, which is the strongest encryption options.
