Prevention of "I've been Hacked".
Hackers are prevalent and sophisticated. If this concerns you, here are some things you can do.
Software Update
Updating your software is the number one prevention of hacking. Hackers are always seeking gaps in security that are unseen or unpatched. Updating software and operating systems are both crucial. Hackers are trying to crack software and software developers are trying to stop them. If you don't have the latest updates there may be a gap that hackers can take advantage of. Best to enable automatic updates. Make sure that all devices and programs have the latest.
Use Unique Passwords for Different Accounts
The most common access for hackers is weak passwords or account credentials. Poor password practices are the most common cause of data breaches and cyberattacks. Use strong passwords and never use the same password for different accounts. Using unique passwords is crucial to limiting hackers’ effectiveness.
Change the Default Username and Password on Your Router and Smart Devices
All devices including routers and smart devices come with default usernames and passwords. Reset the username and password combination for all types of devices.
HTTPS Encryption
Hackers create 'shadow' websites that look like the real one. This is a vehicle for data theft and steal the credentials that users enter. Look for the 's' in the web address i.e., HTTPS: if it isn’t there then don't enter.
