offers.

Think Before You Click

unsolicited emails.
● Hover over links to see where they really lead.
● When in doubt, go directly to the official
website.

● Public Wi-Fi can be risky for private
activities.
● Use a VPN for encryption on public
networks.
● Save sensitive tasks for secure, private Wi-
Fi.
Backing Up Your Data

loss.

backups.
● Make it a habit to back up your data
periodically.
