Check and update your passwords

• Don't re-use your passwords for different accounts, as this increases your vulnerability. 
• Never write down your passwords in a public space or keep them where lots of people can access.
• Try not to save your passwords to a shared computer or tablet. 
• Consider using pass-phrases instead of passwords. These are often more memorable and can be tailored to you, the website or a key detail you are likely to remember easily. For example, TheCatIsBlack45! can be tweaked in many ways across different websites and accounts, but is trickier to guess. 

Protect your personal devices with a password, PIN or use facial recognition

• Make sure there is a timer set on your device for it to lock when inactive for a set period of time. 
• Always lock your phone if you are stepping away from it. 

Be cautious around WiFi connections

• When connecting to WiFi, make sure it is a trusted source - must trusted sources will often be password protected. 
• Open connections are more likely to be susceptible to exposure. 

Be alert to scams

• If something feels too good to be true, it probably is. 
• Never give out your personal details, including your bank details, card PIN, log in passwords. 
• If you are unsure about the incoming call or email, contact the central number or contact email to verify the communication.
