DIGITAL AMBASSADORS 

In today's digital age, managing your online security is critical. In order to protect ourselves as we navigate the vast world of the Internet, we must follow a number of important practices. First and foremost, protect your personal information by being careful about what you share and with whom. Use strong, unique passwords for all your online accounts and use two-factor authentication whenever possible. Watch out for suspicious emails, messages, or links that may be phishing attempts (a way for cybercriminals to trick you into revealing your personal information). They send deceptive emails and text messages purporting to be from large organizations you know or trust. or contain malware. ) Keep your software and devices up to date with the latest security patches. If possible, avoid using public Wi-Fi networks and consider using a virtual private network (VPN) for additional encryption. Finally, maintain your privacy settings on your social media platforms and be careful about the content you post. By applying these steps, you can greatly reduce your risk and enjoy a safer online experience.
