Four Easy Ways to Stay Safe Online
Online criminals look for easy targets, like people who don’t take basic precautions. If we take the following four steps, we won’t be as vulnerable to their deceptive tactics. It will be much harder to scam us or steal our information. Let’s start now.
Recognize & Report Phishing
Phishing often tries to get us to open a harmful attachment or share personal information. Learn what to look for to avoid the "phish hook."
Use Strong Passwords
Using strong passwords and a password manager are some easy ways to protect ourselves from someone logging into an account and stealing data or money.
Turn on MFA
Multifactor authentication means using more than a password to access an app or account. With MFA, we might be asked to enter a text code or use a fingerprint. It makes us much safer from someone accessing our accounts.
Update Software
Don't delay software updates. Flaws in software can give criminals access to files or accounts. Programmers fix these flaws as soon as they can, but we must install updates for the latest protection!

Learn How to Care for Yourself In Order to Care for Others with Tom Daly...
>>Click HERE to link to Compassionate Care ALS for Additional Info>>
CCALS Cultivating Compassion Education Series: Recorded on April 14, 2024.
Join us for an inspirational talk and experience of viewing self-care through the lens of 4 Essential Gateways to Wisdom. Tom shares his personal journey as a caregiver, and how he uses the 4 Gateways Coaching model to deepen his own self-care and to support our ALS clients and caregivers on their uniquely different journeys. He shares the essence of the model and invites participants to experience the process themselves through guided meditation.
Whether you are living with ALS, a caregiver, a friend, or a family member, you will have the opportunity to address a personal issue related to self-care, accessing your own innate wisdom.
