ONLINE SAFETY TIPS FOR SENIORS

Reading Time: 2 mins read
in Cheat Sheet, Document

 

Being online lets you stay abreast of current events, connect with friends and family, shop, manage your finances, play games, and anything else you can think of. Just as you fasten your seat belt before driving, take precautions before using the Internet to be sure you are safe and secure.

PERSONAL INFORMATION IS LIKE MONEY. VALUE IT. PROTECT IT.

KNOW THE RED FLAGS
To begin with, if anyone contacts you and insists on payment by a wire transfer or gift card, it’s a scam. End the conversation immediately

VERIFY TO CLARIFY
Be suspicious of emails, text messages, or phone calls that create a sense of urgency and require you to respond to a crisis or give sensitive information, such as your credit card number or bank account information. Don’t respond immediately. Hang up or walk away
from the computer and contact a trusted source to verify the legitimacy of the request

WHEN IN DOUBT, THROW IT OUT
Links in email, tweets, texts, posts, social media messages and online advertising are the easiest way for cyber criminals to get your sensitive information. Be wary of clicking on links or downloading anything that comes from a stranger or that you were not expecting.

KEEP A CLEAN MACHINE
Keep all software on all internet connected devices current. These updates not only improve the security of your device, but also improve its functionality. Stop clicking postpone on that update.
