Instruction
1. Be extremely attentive at link navigation from letters of e-mail and from private messages on social networks. There is a probability that the link conducts on a fraudulent website. Attentively look at the link address - such websites mask under the known and popular resources and have a similar domain name. If you are going to enter any confidential information (for example, making purchase in online store you fill a payment form), surely pay attention to the beginning of the address of the website: it should begin with https, meaning that your data are transferred in encrypted form.
2. Install the WOT extension (Web of trust) for your browser. After installation on the panel of the browser there will be an icon signaling about the rating of trust of other users to this resource. If an icon orange or, what is even worse, red, then immediately you leave this website and you do not enter any data at all.
3. If you are included into social network or e-mail not from the computer, then always use the private mode of the browser and include function of saving the password.
4. About passwords one is always told and too: the more difficult, the better. Use different combinations of lowercase, capital letters and digits. Do not use the same password on all websites.

Think up the main password, for example, of wwjr38iJH2fek4 and vary it: yVjr38iJH2fek4, wwjr38iJH2fek3hn, that is change or add couple, the three of digits, letters.
5. If you have a profile on social network, then surely be engaged in its privacy settings: limit a circle of people which can see information on you. And always you monitor what you write and comment on. Sometimes writing of one comment can harmful affect your career or employment.
