Learn about practical suggestions to safeguard the personal information of you
and your family.

Online Shopping Safety Tips

Online shopping is fast and easy, but it's still "buyer beware." Providing your
information online can be as safe as providing it to a store you visit
in-person, as long as you follow a few simple rules:


 * Make sure your computer's security software is up-to-date
 * Shop well-known brands or sites with which you are familiar
 * Make sure the site uses a secure check-out – look for https in the url or for
   other security indicators
 * Purchase using your credit card
 * If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is a scam
 * Understand how the site will use your data and the choices that are available
   to you regarding its use by reading the site’s privacy statement

HOW TO READ A PRIVACY STATEMENT

A website's privacy policy tells you how the site collects your information and
how it is used, shared and protected. When reading a privacy policy, there are
questions you should think about:


 * What information is the company collecting about me?
 * Is the information necessary for the online activity I am engaging in?
 * How is information collected about me?
 * How does the site use personal information once it is collected?
 * Do I have a choice about the way information about me is used or shared? How
   can I make that choice?
 * Is there a place where I can ask questions about my privacy and the use of my
   information?

Personal Computer Security Tips

From passwords to firewalls, there are a number of basic tips and tools we all
should use to secure our computers.


USE STRONG PASSWORDS

Passwords are the equivalent of the lock and key to your house on the Internet
and help prevent misuse of your computer and other information. Choose smart
passwords and protect your information using these tips:


 * Do...
   
   * Create a password using a string of at least eight letters and numbers
   * Use one password for your computer login and a different passwords for
     online accounts
   * Be very careful about responding to an email, phone call, fax or letter
     from anyone who asks for your password(s)
   * Give your password and credit card number only via a secure connection on a
     web site
   * Change your password periodically

 * Don't...
   
   * Use your address, birth date, phone number, common words or your pet's name
   * Share your passwords with anyone
   * Write down any password near your computer where someone could see it
   * Carry your password in your purse or billfold
   * Give your password or credit card number via email


SECURING YOUR COMPUTER

The following tips from the United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team
(US-CERT) will help keep your computer, and the information on it, safe:


 * Always use anti-virus software and keep the software up to date. Each month,
   more than 500 new viruses are discovered. Doing this will help you protect
   yourself when using virus software, as well as everyone else with whom you
   communicate. Understand hidden threats and anti-virus software
 * Always use a firewall. A firewall is like an internal lock for information on
   your computer. Many computer operating systems already have firewalls
   installed; you just have to turn them on. You can also download and purchase
   other firewalls to help secure your computer. Learn more about firewalls.
 * Learn the risks associated with sharing files or your Internet connection.
   When sharing files across a network, make sure you know the rules and tips to
   keep your file sharing safe
 * Disconnect from the Internet when idle. If you aren't using it, disconnect
   your Internet connection. No one can attack your computer when it is not
   connected to the Internet. This is especially important if you have a
   high-speed connection. Learn about other good security habits
 * Be in control of your security. Your browser has many security features,
   including many you may not use. Many web applications try to enhance your
   browsing experience by enabling different types of functionality, which may
   leave you vulnerable to cyber-attacks. Learn how to update your security
   settings
 * Use caution when opening email attachments. Email is simple, popular and
   convenient – all of which makes it the perfect tool for cyber-attacks.
   According to the Anti-Phishing Working Group, in 2016 the total of reported
   phishing attacks was more than 1 million. Learn more about how to protect
   yourself and others in your address book from malicious attachments
