Internet users can make more informed decisions and help better protect their online activities by taking these precautions:
* Help guard your devices and online accounts. Use a unique four-digit PIN for mobile devices and strong passwords for online accounts.
* Perform sensitive transactions over secured networks. This includes paying bills, banking or shopping. Don?t share personal account information over ?borrowed? or public Wi-Fi connections.
* Take charge of your online reputation. Discover what information about you is on the Internet, periodically re-evaluate it, and remove unwanted or inaccurate content to cultivate an accurate, positive reputation.
* Help protect your social circles. Use privacy settings to manage the information you share and with whom you share it. Be selective about what you post and accepting friends.
