New Year's Cybersecurity Resolutions

Make your cyber life a little more safe and secure with these New Year's Cybersecurity Resolutions:


  • Delete your unused accounts
Got an old account you never use anymore -- like Yahoo, MySpace,
or AOL? Delete it to eliminate the possibility of it being hacked.

  • Change and strengthen your passwords
Many online services don't require you to change your password,
but this is no reason not to change them yourself.

  • Check your backups
You have backup copies of your important data, right? Are your
backups current and complete, or have they fallen behind?

  • Uninstall unused apps
You'll have one less app for a hacker to hack, one less password
to remember, and more space on your device.

  • Check for updates
Outdated apps (like Adobe Reader, Microsoft Office) and operating
systems (like Windows) provide hackers with easy targets, and account
for 85% of targeted attacks!
