Top Question:

How do I browse the web and use public Wi-Fi safely?

Best Answer:
  • Safe Browsing: Update your browser regularly, enable MFA on browser-linked accounts, turn off ad personalization and block third-party cookies.
  • Encryption Check: Ensure connections show “https” or a padlock symbol in the browser bar before entering data.
  • Public Computer Caution: Avoid accessing sensitive accounts on public computers. If you need to use a public computer, uncheck "Remember Me," explicitly log out and close all browser windows when finished.
  • Use Hotspots: Prefer personal mobile hotspots over public Wi-Fi networks when accessing sensitive accounts or information.
