Fake Scam and Investment mostly happens because of lack of knowledge and also lack of awareness lalo na sa mga kiniclick na links.
I will also share mine. This is Long. Please Read and also do not quote kasi baka may baguhin ako or idagdag.
BASIC1. Magisip , wag po click ng click ng links.
2. Install Anti Virus for your PC and Mobile Phone, Do regular deep scanning.
3. Review your Account Privacy Settings . Kapag gagawa po kayo kadalasan ng accounts meron po sa settings ng Privqcy and also kadalasan is mayroong Ads Settings (kung ano yung makikita mong ads) May kinocollect na data ang bawat website for marketing purposes which is yung ads, worst case yung mga nakollect na data ay possibly na mahack at yung nga emails na yun is magagamit para masendan po kayo ng scam messages.
Isa pa mostly ng mga social media and apps na nagrerequire ng phone numbers? Check niyo din po ang Privacy ng kung sino ang pwede makakita ng Phone Numbers ninyo at Emails ninyo.
4. Review also each Software you install on your mobile phone or PC dahil may kinocollect din po silang Data.
INTERMEDIATE/ADVANCE1. Use Different Emails for your activity online.
Example po mayroon kang account for social media, meron pang game, meron pang bitcointalk, meron pang personal, meron pang work.
Pwede, one for private, one for gaming, one for social media, one for public
Why? Kapag ang iisang email lang ang gagamitin mo para sa lahat ng yan , kapag nahack ang account mo mawawala ang lahat ng access mo sa mobile banking mo, social media mo. Lahat wala.
What Email Service Provider?
Mostly used kasi ang Gmail and also user friendly din ang UI niya at ang maganda ang usability niya.
But if you prefer to experience privacy, I'll go with ProtonEmail, na currenrly nakalimutan ko na ang accounts ko doon. If i have extratime , i will check my emails and accounts na pwede ko ilipat sa ProtonEmail.
2. Password.
*Use Different Passwords on each account. Preferably a strong generated password.
HOW?
USE a password manager for your password.
Example : KeepPass link:
https://keepass.info/download.htmlWhy KeepPass? It is Open Source, Kapag sinabi pong open source, ang source code po nito ay published online which means it will be reviewed if it has malicious code and kung mayroon po ba itong flaw. Higit sa lahat dahil open source po ito pwede rin po makagawa ang ibang developers para sa ibang platform.
You can also generate strong password using KeePass!
*One main password to access your strong passwords
Benefits? No need to memorize different passwords, isang password lang ang need mo imemorize and access mo na lahat ng info about your passwords and accounts.
-I will do this kasi nagiging makakalimutin na ako and also i prefer generated strong passwords rather than passwords na related sa birthday ko or sa favorite na color ko, same goes with you. Fix Your Passwords.
3. Use different Numbers.
Ito medyo God Tier na ito and i am doing this.
One number for personal
One for Banking/Money/Financial Related Activities.
One for Social Media.
Mayroon na po kasi na Sim Swapping or Sim Hijacking. Halimbawa na hack po yung email ninyo na connected sa bank tapos nagtry sila magreset ng password eh kailangan ng code , Ang gagawin nila is i hahijack nila or i swap yung sim mo.
How? they will pretend you and then contact nila ang network carrier mo to change your number into a new number, kumbaga ipoport nila yung lahat ng incoming calls messages mo sa number mo sa number na hawak nila. Nangyayari na po ito sa Pilipinas. 2015 pa.
Yung sa Personal na nakalagay minsan sa Resume mo etc. Pwede kasi macollect yun and magamit ng mga scammers.
Sa Social Media naman pwede naman kasi na hindi ka gumamit ng Phone Number but mostly kasi kailangan, Pwede ka bumili ng One Sim for your Social Media and then pwede kahit itabi mo na lang yung sim, If na expire go to your service provider for reolacement or re activation, but for me na hindi mahilig sa social media, i always use email as much as possible and remove my phone number, eh yung ibang social media kasi they always nagging for verification maya i have no choice.
Yung sa Banking kasi maganda talaga na hiwalay para ang nakakaalam lang is Ikaw at yung Bangko.
With Gcash or Paymaya, I use personal number since i do public transactions using it.
ADDITIONAL1. Use Protection.
A. Protect your network connection
*Use DNS attack protection
- mostly po ng ISP natin they have their own DNS. Para sa simple lang po at maintindihan ng nakakarami halimbawa nagtype ka ng facebook.com, pwedeng ang lumabas na UI is facebook pero ang website is not facebook as is, it is a website created by DNS Attackers which may result into account hacking and phishing.
DNS attack protection prevents this from happening, this may not be usually happening pero still possible po na mangyari.
You can use INFRA
infra:
