- Don’t use the same password on different websites. Instead, use a password manager like LastPass, Dashlane or 1Password
- If you aren’t expecting to receive attachments in compressed formats like .zip, .tar or .tar. gz or any file, DON’T DOWNLOAD/EXTRACT THEM TO YOUR PC/MAC/DEVICE.
- Backup data from all your workstations, devices, servers, etc., using a quality service like our Backup Hosting.
