3 Security mistakes…
Your PC starts out secure with Windows, but user mistakes can weaken that protection. Cybersecurity experts highlight three major habits that create risks:
1. Leaving internet devices exposed: Unsecured devices (like routers or smart gadgets) can be exploited by attackers.
Solution: Block outside internet access unless necessary, and keep all firmware and software up to date.
2. Installing malware: Malware can arrive through various means, not just suspicious downloads.
Solution: Only download apps from trusted sources, check reviews, and keep antivirus software active and updated.
3. Falling for phishing scams: Scam emails and messages trick users into giving away sensitive info or downloading malware.
Solution: Avoid clicking links in messages; instead, visit sites directly. Use passkeys and 2FA for added protection, and stay calm when facing urgent messages.
In short: Keep your devices secure, install software wisely, and stay vigilant against phishing.
