To protect yourself while browsing the internet it is also recommended you follow the latest security advice from experts. Here are some good practices which are widely recommended:

• Avoid reusing passwords across multiple sites, applications, or services.
• Avoid passwords which are short and predictable such as “password1” or your name and date of birth.
• Create passwords with a combination of lowercase and uppercase letters, numbers, and symbols arranged in an unpredictable order.
• Create passwords that are no shorter than 12 characters but ideally 16 characters or longer.
• Enable two factor authentication and never share authorisation codes with anyone you have not met in person or could not reasonably trust to act lawfully on your behalf.
