How to protect your personal information online.

The following recommendations must be observed:.

Do not install programs and applications from third-party sources on a personal computer or smartphone. Download software only on official developer pages.

Set up two-step verification using your phone or email. This will protect accounts and profiles in social networks and online services..

Create strong passwords for your accounts. The password must contain upper case letters (ABV), lower case letters (abc), symbols (for example, *№! ) and numbers.

Change passwords from time to time. Do not use the same code combinations for accounts of different pages.

Do not download files from insecure and unknown sites. These files often carry viruses..

Check your devices with antivirus programs from time to time.

Be wary of third-party online forms that require the input of personal data.

Do not open or click on links that come in emails from strangers. They can lead to dangerous pages.

Be picky about messages and windows that pop up in your browser, apps, or mobile device. Before approving such a message, be sure to carefully read its contents..

When using public Wi-Fi points that do not have a password, try not to use electronic payment systems, Internet banking and not enter authentication data to enter your own accounts.
