The ability to order food and other necessities from a phone and track the deliver is great. However, we should be careful when making such purchases online or through apps that the sites/apps are built with privacy and security in mind so that your sensitive data such as credit card information, name and address are not exposed to potential hackers. Users should also not use company devices for personal related tasks. Doing this can potentially cause harm if they were to visit a defective site or click on a link that downloads a virus to the device. There should be boundaries in-place to prevent the use of company devices for personal use.

Working from home can be great. You can create a space that is comfortable and works best for you. We should always use caution when connecting to wifi networks outside of the office or home. What seems to be free wifi can actually be a trap to steal your information. Wifi connections should be secured and known. Never connect to unknown SSIDs.

Social media is used for many reasons to include sharing photos and videos with friends and families, advertising businesses, sharing opinions on your favorite TV series. It all seems harmless, but sometimes people tend to overshare. For example, sharing pictures of your pet and its name, sharing your birthday, where you grew up, all seems harmless but you never know who’s paying attention to these details which could also be used to guess your password or security questions to get into your account. Be aware of what you share and with whom.
