Refurbished Electronics: A Smart Choice for the Elderly (Part 7) - Staying Safe Online (Easyphone)

Continuing the series for seniors, this post focuses on online safety.

Protecting Against Scams and Phishing:

Seniors are often targeted by online scams and phishing attempts. It's important to be cautious about clicking on links in emails or messages from unknown senders. Never share personal information, such as passwords or bank account details, unless you are absolutely sure of the recipient's identity.

Using Strong Passwords:

Use strong and unique passwords for all online accounts. Avoid using the same password for multiple accounts. Consider using a password manager to help you generate and store secure passwords.

Being Wary of Suspicious Emails and Messages:

Be wary of emails or messages that seem suspicious, even if they appear to be from legitimate organizations. If you're unsure about the legitimacy of an email or message, contact the organization directly to verify.

Keeping Software Updated:

Keep your computer's operating system and antivirus software up to date. Software updates often include security patches that protect against malware and other online threats.
