This Christmas, give your family the gift of digital peace of mind by discussing basic cybersecurity habits.
Todd County Emergency Management Director and Chief Information Security Officer Ash Groves told Your WEKT News Edge that when it comes to technology, convenience is the enemy.
Groves shared five tips everyone should keep in mind. First, enable multi-factor authentication whenever possible.
Groves added that you should always allow your computer to run automatic updates.
He said using strong passwords for your online accounts is vital. Additionally, you should be cautious of any phishing emails.
Groves added that it is always advisable to back up your computer to an external hard drive.
Groves noted that once a virus infects your system, it typically harvests your contact list to propagate the scam further.
