*4 ways to stay cyber-safe*

• Enable 2FA, such as one-time passwords from a digital token/SMS and use strong passphrases of at least 12 characters, with a mix of numbers, symbols and upper/lower case letters. Do not use the same passwords for different accounts.

• Beware of phishing scams by verifying the authenticity of emails, calls or requests through official sources and checking with family and friends.

• Update software promptly by enabling automatic updates. Regularly review and remove apps that are not needed.

• Add ScamShield and anti-virus apps from official app stores, and refer to CSA's recommended security apps list at
