How to be safe from cybercrime
Users can protect themselves from such cybercrime.
Users can increase the complexity of the password by using a combination of 14 to 16 characters containing different letters (upper and lower case), symbols, and numbers. This will help keep your account safe from hackers.
Users should also avoid using personal data such as birthdays, names of self or family members, or easily searchable information. Additionally, users should avoid reusing passwords across different accounts so that if a cyber attacker compromises one password, they cannot gain unrestricted access to all other registered services.
Users should never share passwords with anyone and should investigate unauthorized access and change their passwords immediately if they detect any suspicious activity on their accounts.
