Ask Mr. Pedometer and Friends…Help! My computer has been hacked.
Q: Mr. Pedometer, Help! My computer has been hacked! How can I
make sure this never happens again?
A: Your question is timely, as October is National Cybersecurity Month.
Here are some tips from Homeland Security, the National Cyber
Security Alliance, and Bank of America:
The following tips can help keep you safe and secure:
1. Use a Mobile Banking app so that you can stay on top of any suspicious account activity.
2. Protect your devices by installing the latest browsers, operating
systems, and antivirus software.
3. Don’t provide account or personal information via email, text, or
to an unsolicited caller.
4. Don’t click on unsolicited links or attachments sent via email or text.
Of course, you probably already know that you should change your
passwords frequently. They should include both upper- and lower-case
letters, numbers, and punctuation symbols to be most secure. Then
your biggest challenge is remembering them! (-;
