October is Cybersecurity Awareness month! Here are some cyber safety tips from the FBI:

🛡️Keep systems and software up to date and install a strong, reputable anti-virus program.

🛡️Be careful when connecting to a public Wi-Fi network and do not conduct any sensitive transactions, including purchases, when on a public network.

🛡️Create a strong and unique passphrase for each online account.

🛡️Set up multi-factor authentication on all accounts that allow it.

🛡️Examine the email address in all correspondence and scrutinize website URLs before responding to a message or visiting a site.

🛡️Don’t click on anything in unsolicited emails or text messages.

🛡️Be cautious about the information you share in online profiles and social media accounts. Sharing things like pet names, schools, and family members can give scammers the hints they need to guess your passwords or the answers to your account security questions.

🛡️Don't send payments to unknown people or organizations that are seeking monetary support and urge immediate action.
