Use Strong and Unique Passwords: create strong passwords (using a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols) and avoid using the same password across multiple platforms.
Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Adding an extra layer of security through two-factor authentication (2FA) ensures your accounts are better protected from unauthorized access.
Be Mindful of What You Share: Think twice before sharing personal information, such as their full name, address, school name, or phone number online, especially on public forums and social media.
Verify Contacts Before Interacting : Teach students to verify the identity of new contacts or followers, especially on social media or messaging apps. Just because someone claims to be a friend doesn’t mean they are who they say they are.
Adjust Privacy Settings : Students should regularly review and update privacy settings on social media platforms to control who can see their posts, photos, and personal information.
Avoid public Wi-Fi for sensitive transactions: Public Wi-Fi networks are less secure. Students should avoid accessing sensitive information, such as bank accounts or school portals, on open WiFi.
Think Before Clicking: Beware of the dangers of phishing scams and malicious links. They should be cautious about clicking on links from unknown sources, even if they appear to come from familiar contacts.
Limit Location Sharing: Disable location services on apps that don’t require it and avoid sharing their real-time location with people they don’t fully trust.
Be Wary of Downloads: Download only those apps or files that are from trusted sources, as malicious downloads can infect devices with malware or steal personal data.
Set Boundaries for Digital Engagement: Set boundaries for digital interactions, such as not responding to unknown messages or only communicating with people you know in real life.
Monitor Your Digital Footprint : Be conscious that everything you post online creates a digital footprint that can be hard to erase. Consider how your online actions may affect your future.
