Justin Shue, a security engineer for the Google Chrome browser, offers Internet users 5 easy ways to protect their online data.
1. Refusal to use public computers
All data that passes through a computer installed in a public place can be viewed or used for criminal purposes. Therefore, it is better not to use it at all or not to go to e-mail, various accounts or online banking.
2. Using different passwords for your accounts
Remembering different passwords for your accounts is not easy. However, using the same code is unreasonably dangerous. There are special programs - password managers that can simplify the task.
3. Two-factor authentication
It is necessary to set up a two-factor system for verifying identity on the Internet, for example, sending one-time SMS codes. This will avoid many computer attacks.
4. A minimum of new plugins
For many years, Google has recorded the spread of malware precisely during plug-in downloads. By ignoring the antivirus warnings, the user allows the virus to infiltrate the computer, track all keystrokes, reset settings, etc. Shu advises to check the name of the plugin with Google before downloading.
5. Updated browser
Browser security teams work around the clock to protect users from risks. In order to secure your computer, you need to timely install all updates that fix vulnerabilities in older versions.
