It is a good idea to regularly update your passwords with a combination of letters, numbers and symbols. Also, be aware of scams and phishing attacks that aim to steal your personal information. Be careful when sharing your personal information , especially when online and don’t click on links attached to an email from an unknown source. Be on the lookout for suspicious mobile phone texts, calls or suspicious contact via social media. If an offer looks “too good to be true” then it is likely to not be true.
