Essentially, it is an offence that is committed using a computer, network or hardware.These crimes entail a wide spectrum of illegal internet activities within the World Wide Web like\u2014 phishing, credit card frauds, bank robbery, illegal downloading, industrial espionage, child pornography, kidnapping children via chat rooms, scams, cyberterrorism, creation and\/or distribution of viruses, spam and so on. All such crimes are computer related and facilitated crimes.Sure, there is no guaranteed way for anyone in the work to be completely secure, there are definitely some smart ways to find yourself on the better side of cybercrimeol&gt;<\/p>\n<li><strong>Know your privacy policy<\/strong><\/li>\n<p>nIt is one of the first things one must absolutely know about when that get into any activity on the internet. Sure, it is lengthy and tedious to read through, and you blindly accept and agree with the terms, because at most times\u2014there is no other option\u2014however as citizens of an interconnected world, we must educate ourselves to be better aware of what we allow multinational corporations to do with your informationol start=&#8221;2&#8243;&gt;<\/p>\n<li><strong>Secure your devices <\/strong><\/li>\n<p>nDespite small-business budgets and challenges, finding ways to save is always going to be a priority for small-business owners. However, for most people, we wouldn\u2019t risk driving a car without wearing a seat beat\u2014so, why would you risk the same with your internet devices. Be sure to secure them with passwords and regularly change them to avoid hackers into your accountol start=&#8221;3&#8243;&gt;<\/p>\n<li><strong>Protect Your Data<\/strong><\/li>\n<p>nUse encryption for your most sensitive files such as tax returns or financial records, make regular back-ups of all your important data, and store it in a different locationol start=&#8221;4&#8243;&gt;<\/p>\n<li><strong>Public Presence<\/strong><\/li>\n<p>nThis does not mean your social media presence\u2014because, that dear readers is a completely different ball game. What we mean is for you to be aware of what you do and your presence when you connect callously to public Wi-Fi networks and free caf\u00e9 hotspots. Remain super alert.While these access points are convenient, they are far from secure. Avoid conducting financial or corporate transactions on these networksol start=&#8221;5&#8243;&gt;<\/p>\n<li><strong>Always protect your e-identity<\/strong>nKnow what information can be shared online, and what cannot be. Be cautious when you give out personal information such as your name, address, phone number or financial information on the Internet. Make sure that the websites you use to do online transactions are secure (e.g. when making online purchases) or that you\u2019ve enabled privacy settings (e.g. when accessing\/using social networking sites).<\/li>\n<p><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>nBE SAFE, EVEN ONLINE!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week, BizBrolly Solutions helps take a closer look at Cybersecurity and ways to keep you safe.There is so much tension around the internet in recent times about safety and privacy.
