Online safety is very important to keep your personal information secure. Using strong and unique passwords, and turning on two-factor authentication, helps protect your accounts from being hacked. Be careful about sharing personal details or clicking on links that look suspicious, as these can lead to scams and malware. Keeping your software and apps updated is also crucial to prevent security problems. Staying up-to-date on the latest online threats and safety tips can help you stay secure while using the internet. The Library regularly offers classes to help you learn about online safety with practical tips and hands-on practice.
