Cybercrime
October 2, 2017
A crime committed or facilitated via the internet is a cybercrime. Follow these tips from the National Crime Prevention Council to stay safe online:
- Keep your computer systems up to date. Cyber criminals will use software flaws to attack computer systems frequently and anonymously
- Choose strong passwords and protect them. Using the same password for various sites increases the risk of exploitation
- Never write a password down or leave it near the system it is intended to protect
- Install or update your antivirus software
- Read the fine print on website privacy policies
