How you can protect yourself
- Ensure your computer is receiving monthly security patches and your antivirus software is updated regularly. Using the newest versions best protects against unauthorized access to your computer and data.
- Never share your password with others. Your password is private information; keep it confidential.
- Don't let other people onto your computer. Giving other users access to your computer can put you and your personal information at risk.
- Be careful not to leave your computer unattended when you have applications with confidential data open.
