Computer and Device Safety Tips

  • Keep antivirus on your device(s) up to date.
  • Keep your device(s) operating system(s) up to date.
  • Make sure that you are using a trusted internet connection (DO NOT TRUST PUBLIC WI-FI CONNECTIONS).
  • Password or pin-protect your device to prevent unauthorized access.
  • Do not write down your passwords.
  • Use Passphrases instead of easy-to-guess passwords.

Safe Browsing

  • Only visit trusted sites.
  • Never enter personal information on unknown websites.
  • Make sure the sites you are using are secure by looking for the lock icon.
  • Bookmark frequently visited sites to prevent typing errors.
  • Microsoft tech support will not call you to tell you that you have a virus. (According to their website, Microsoft will not send an email or solicit Windows Customers to offer Tech Support either.)
  • Do not fall for Blue Screen of Death Scams. (The number listed is not Microsoft.)
  • Periodically change your passwords for websites you log in to.

Email & Social Networking Safety

  • Do not open attachments in email that you aren’t expecting, even if it is from someone you know.
  • Do not click on links in your email. Hover over the link to verify what site it leads to.
  • Be aware of phishing scams received in your email. Words will often be misspelled or forgotten.
  • Be cautious when considering accepting friend requests from strangers or people you do not know.
  • Never send or accept money through a social network from someone you do not know.

Banking Safety

  • First Federal will not call, email, or ask you for your internet banking password.
  • Never wire money to a person you do not know.
  • Never give out personal information over the phone.
  • The IRS will never call you for your information.
  • Beware of lottery scams; you will never have to pay for money you’ve won.
  • Never give out or share your internet banking username or password. This violates your online banking agreement. Each account user needs his/her own username and password.
  • Check your account statements on a regular basis.
