These AI creations draw an intelligent parallel to the fact that while staying safe is necessary, it is also important to be practical. Especially, when it comes to staying safe online, you should find a solution that strikes a balance between security and usability.
The online world can be a scary place. From spyware and phishing scams to identity theft and cyber attacks, you need to stay safe while navigating the internet.
According to Surfshark’s study, over 300 million accounts were breached globally in 2023. And the sad part is that most of these breaches are so sophisticated that you might not even be aware that your data is leaking.
However, there are several steps you can take to keep yourself safe online. Don’t worry, we are not talking about wearing these whacky costumes (although they might be handy if you want to hide your facial identity).
Follow these cybersecurity tips by Surfshark to surf safely:
- Generate long passwords and use two-factor authentication wherever possible.
- Clear cookies regularly.
- Install an adblocker to protect yourself from malicious software.
- use Surfshark’s smart VPN to keep your data private.
- This is a no-brainer but—never open attachments from suspicious links.
