Online Safety Tips

Switch on the encryption within your Wi-Fi software so that no one can use your internet connection without your password.
Never reply to unsolicited or ‘spam’ emails from people you do not know, or open any adverts or attachments sent with those emails.
Block the source of the spam email and adjust your settings to filter out junk mail.
Never share personal data with anyone you don’t know.
Never send your bank details to anyone in an email – genuine companies will not ask you to confirm personal information via email as it is not secure.
Make sure that your device's software updates are kept up to date by running Windows Update regularly. Make sure you also have anti-virus software installed and kept up to date. If you have a smartphone, be sure to apply updates as they become available.
