🛡️ Are You a Cyber-Target? Lock Down Your Digital Life in 5 Easy Steps

Understanding Your Cyber Vulnerability

Let’s be real — being online is awesome. You can stream your fave shows, shop from your sofa, and stay connected with mates. But here’s the catch: the more connected you are, the more exposed you might be to cyber threats 😬.

So... are you leaving your digital doors wide open? Let’s find out—and fix it fast 💨.

🔍 Step 1: Power Up Your Passwords

🔐 Step 2: Turn On Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

🕵️‍♀️ Step 3: Watch Out for Phishing Scam

Phishing is basically digital catfishing — fake emails or messages pretending to be legit, trying to steal your info.

🚫 Don’t click on sketchy links
📧 Always double-check the sender’s email
📢 Report anything suspicious

👉 Spot phishing scams like a pro

🔄 Step 4: Keep Your Software Updated

🛠️ Turn off remote access features you don’t use

👉 Secure your home network.
