In our increasingly digital world, protecting ourselves and our families from online threats is crucial. Kyle Hanslovan, CEO of Huntress and ethical hacker, shares key tips for staying safe online.
As our activities move online, from social apps to gaming, we’re asked to share more personal information. Hanslovan highlights that outdated safety tactics are no longer effective, making awareness of current threats essential.
Online predators often create a sense of urgency to trick people into acting quickly. Whether it’s a fake offer or a false tax notice, their goal is to bypass your usual defenses. Malware often sneaks in through shady websites, especially when seeking free game downloads. Hanslovan advises that even seemingly harmless software can contain malicious code, so caution is key.
For online shopping and banking, use strong, unique passwords and enable two-factor authentication (2FA). This adds an extra layer of security to your accounts. If you’re hacked, act quickly: reset passwords and follow recovery steps. Hanslovan emphasizes that while breaches are common, prompt action can limit damage and prevent further issues.
