"10 Tips for Staying Safe Online"







As the internet becomes an increasingly important part of our daily lives, it's important to protect ourselves from cyber threats. Here are 10 tips for staying safe online:

1. Use strong, unique passwords: Avoid using the same password for multiple accounts and make sure to use a mix of letters, numbers, and special characters in your passwords. Consider using a password manager to help you generate and keep track of strong passwords.

2. Enable two-factor authentication: Many online accounts offer two-factor authentication as an added security measure. This means that in addition to your password, you'll also need to enter a code sent to your phone or email to log in.

3. Be cautious of emails and links: Be wary of suspicious emails, especially those that ask for personal information or login credentials. Don't click on links or download attachments from unknown sources.

4. Keep your software and devices up to date: Make sure to regularly update your operating system, web browsers, and other software to ensure that you have the latest security patches and features.

5. Use a VPN: A virtual private network (VPN) encrypts your internet connection and can help protect your online activity from being monitored or tracked.

6. Avoid public Wi-Fi: Public Wi-Fi networks are often unsecured and can be easy targets for hackers. Avoid accessing sensitive information on public Wi-Fi whenever possible.

7. Enable firewalls: Firewalls can help protect your device from malicious traffic by blocking incoming connections from the internet.

8. Back up your data: Regularly backing up your data can help protect against data loss in the event of a cyber attack or device failure.

9. Be careful what you share online: Think carefully about the information you share online, and consider the privacy settings on your social media accounts.

10. Use antivirus software: Antivirus software can help protect your device from malware and other cyber threats. Make sure to keep your antivirus software up to date and run regular scans.

By following these tips, you can help protect yourself and your information online. Stay vigilant and always be aware of potential cyber threats.

Ramblings

So many thoughts scattered  In the ocean  That is my head I do fear for this wayfarer. And here I was thinking  I was normal  Uuntil I met you. Shattering the glasses  My assumptions  Opened the door  To the coastline of reality. Smashed to pieces  My fears  Like angry bull  In a China-shop I'm now bathed in silkiness  Serenity  Confidence my new skin I wear  Like crocodile  Or his cousin once removed,  The snake. I'd have been kidnapped  By heart and mind  If not for Providence  Who sent Guidance to guard Inhibitions have been very strict  Leaving no room for idleness  To cajole me into reverie  To send into coma of self-delusion. This journey must be concluded  To it's end which is a known  Unknown Haidarwali 201506111756hrs

A Midnight Encounter

You see when it starts to rain, the soul that luvs the rain lights up with an electric fervor! . I close my eyes and listen to the musical lyrics of raindrops drumming upon the rooftop, which pours down the drains. . I sit against the windows and watch countless slates slash against the pane and flashes of lightening streak across the reddened midnight sky. And then... . POW! CRACKOW! A blasting blare of thunder makes me shudder, almost jumping out of fright. . And then gradually the rumbling rolls away like a cartwheel leaving me with the sound of dripping raindrops like a collection of pattering feet tapdancing. . A cool breeze sifts in carrying with it the scent of wettened earth and the promise of a sweet and sound night's sleep. . Haidarwali 201805250053hrs
