How To Stay Safe
Online
Excerpts from MyJobMag's
webinar
Speaker:
Ogugua Belonwu - Founder, MyJobMag
Be detailed.
Be interested in which sites you're opening.
Pay attention to links you click and the
attachments you download, so you don't give
out private information to scammers.
1. Don't Be "Lazy" Online
Google the company's website address to
confirm the domain name.
Double-check sender emails and logos.
Check for misspellings in domain names or email
addresses.
2. Confirm Website Address
If you are using a desktop, hover on the link
before clicking it.
On mobile phone, press and hold on the link,
options will appear, copy the link, open a new
tab, and paste it on the address bar.
3. Beware Of Masked Links
4. Beware Of Url Shorteners
Don't click on shortened urls, unless you trust
the source.
Watch out for spam subdomains, which are
created by scammers to lead you to a fradulent
site.
Don't use the same passwords on every site
you visit. It is super risky.
Don't give out sensitive information while
registering on websites. This information
Make password reset your friend.
could fall into the hands of scammers.
5. Don't Use Same Passwords
Two-factor authentication providers an extra
layer of security for your log in on supported
sites.
Say yes to two-factor authentication when you
visit a site. A secure code will be sent to you,
which you can use to log into the website.
6. Enable Two-Factor Authentication
Beware of links in emails from contacts that
you may have no business with, or entirely
unknown sources.
If you receive a suspicious email from someone
you know, call them to confirm if they are
aware of the email sent with their account.
7. Beware Of Link In Emails
Avoid downloading email attachments from
people you don't know or understand,
especially html/htm or zip attachments.
Scammers can use such attachments to install
a trojan on your system.
Before downloading an attachment, verify the
email address.
8. Watch Email Attachments
Ignore all "urgent emails" asking you to take
an action, or your Yahoo, Gmail or bank
account will be blocked.
Nobody is locking your Yahoo or Gmail or any
other account. Don't bother when you receive
such emails, instead ask an experienced
person for help.
Nobody or bank is asking for your password.
They don't need it.
9. Ignore All "Urgent Emails"
Spoofed email address are emails that appear
original, but aren't.
If you get an email from the email address of
someone you know, but isn't sure if it is them,
call the person to confirm.
10. Spoofed Email Addresses
Antiviruses offer a basic level of security for
you.
They provide internet security, and secure
your downloads as well.
They can also scan and expose a website that
contains a trojan.
11. Use An Antivirus
