Four steps to combat cybercrime are as follows:
- Before we start browsing the web, we must ensure that our operating system, web browser, security software, browser plug-ins, and other applications are up-to-date.
- We should use strong, unique passwords online, only download from trusted sites, and always think twice before clicking on links in emails, messages, or social media.
- When shopping online, we should check if the website is trusted and has a refund policy.
- We should clear cookies regularly as they track our online activity.
