Practice Safe Browsing
Advice:
- Avoid visiting suspicious or untrusted websites. Blockchain and SSL certification can indicate a trustworthy site, so look for HTTPS in the URL bar.
- Refrain from clicking on links or downloading attachments in unsolicited emails or messages. Be cautious especially with phishing attempts that impersonate trusted entities.
- Configure Browser Security Settings: Adjust settings to block pop-ups, intrusive advertisements, and dangerous sites. Most modern browsers allow you to enable a security feature that warns you before visiting a potentially harmful site.
- Use Safe Browsing Extensions: Consider installing browser extensions known for improving security (e.g., uBlock Origin, HTTPS Everywhere) that can help to filter malicious content.
- Clear Browser Cache and History: Regularly clear your browser cache and history to protect personal information and enhance privacy; aim to do this monthly.
