– Make
Password Stronger

Your
password strength is crucial to protecting your identity online.
There are just too many bots that run automatic password trial and
error configurations. Your passwords for all your private information
should be a combination of letters and numbers, with uppercase
letters in random places. You can also substitute numbers for
letters, mash multiple words together or deliberately misspell words.
If you’re good at keeping track of your passwords, the best type of
password is a random string of characters.

2-
Pay Attention
to Those Security Questions

Although
security questions are used for a backup, this doesn’t mean you
shouldn’t put as much thought into them as you do your password. Use
questions that only you know the answer to, or better yet, don’t
directly answer the security question at all, instead, deliberately
enter specific numbers, letters or combination of both.

3-
Make Use of Applications

Use reliable anti-spyware and
antivirus programs to prevent infiltrations of malware, worms and
computer viruses. These can infiltrate your computer and send
information back to an Internet criminal or website looking for
personal information.
