Hi Tom,
Sorry I haven’t been in touch, but I had terrible problems with my computer last week. I was using that file-sharing website you told me about when the screen suddenly (1) froze / went off / ran out and then the whole thing just crashed. Luckily, I had remembered to (2) select / back up / set up my files, so I didn’t lose too much data but it took ages to (3) plug in / recharge / install everything again. I was really worried about my assignment, but fortunately I’d emailed a first draft to my tutor last week so he (4) swiped / printed / inserted it out for me and I’ve just spent the afternoon typing it all up again. Let’s hope my tutor thinks so, too!
Anyway, let’s meet up soon. Hope you’re well.
Andy

1. Carefully control your behavior on social networks. Virtuoso scammers are very adept at using personal information with which they can easily crack security codes and gain access to other accounts. Over the past few years, this method of cyberattack has become one of the most common.

2. For the safety of your accounts, restrict access to the inner circle of friends and relatives. Never share personal information with new online friends. Try not to advertise data containing birth dates, email addresses or pet names that can be used as passwords. All this information can be very useful for a professional hacker.

3. Do not use debit cards online. Unauthorized debit card payments are withdrawn directly from your bank account, and even if you report a violation immediately, it will take more than one week to restore the previous balance. In the case of a credit card in a similar situation, when contesting suspicious payments, the client has access to his accounts. Both types of cards have notification functions either by e-mail or in the form of SMS text, which makes it possible to quickly interrupt unauthorized actions. Visa is a leader in security solutions for its credit cards.

4. Beware of messages of this kind: “Attention! Your account has been hacked. You must call to verify your account. Send us a message and we will call you back. ”

5. Do not become a victim of Clickjacking. This type of attack is fraught with hyperlinks under what, at first glance, looks like harmless content. However, clicking the link opens a channel for malware that can invade your computer or transfer your personal information.

6. Do not be reckless in using any Wi-Fi connection. Wi-Fi hotspots are most often unsafe because they do not encode information transmitted on the Internet. Moreover, the tools used by hackers allow them to “peek” over your shoulder and fetch usernames, passwords or other information that provides access to financial accounts. Cellular network in this regard is more secure.

7. In the email messages and on the website, look carefully at the URLs, even if they contain the names of the reputable financial institutions you deal with. The most common catch is a combination of a legitimate website name and fake. These addresses very often lead to mime sites, which under the appearance of a legitimate guise hide affiliation with hacking activities. Sometimes the URL may be genuine, but when you click on the link, it takes you to another site.

8. Never click on messages sent by e-mail and offering to update personal data. In most cases, such requests are triggered after you enter your account via a non-email address.

9. Do not use the same password for different accounts. Choose unusual characters, numbers, and spaces for passwords. As an added precaution, fill out security questions with fictitious, easy-to-remember answers, rather than facts that might reveal your personal information.

10. Install antivirus and antispyware software on your computer. Make sure that these programs work and are updated automatically.
