How to protect from hackers

Keep your online account safe from hackers.

In May last year, hackers in the computer system of at least 74 countries were attacked. The information technology experts of the country expressed concern that Bangladesh may be in the list of affected countries. According to BTRC's report in April, about 44.5 percent of the country's population is using the Internet. That is, nearly half of the population of Bangladesh is using the Internet. At that time the number of internet users was about 7 billion and 20 million. But how many of us have a large number of internet users, to protect their online accounts from the risk of hacking? Let's know some of its ways.

Password

Use long, complicated passwords if you have important information on mail or online accounts. To protect yourself from hackers, password is your first safeguard. What is a risky password, it can mean that a hacker takes around 10 minutes to hack a six-letter password from a report published in USA Today. But with this six letters, add four more letters, a hacker will take 45 thousand years to break it!

Two-level security

Although, lately, with the use of complex passwords, it can not be align with hackers. Hacking passwords is not so difficult anymore. For this reason use 'two-step authentication' or two-level security. This is a process, where a user needs to use one more password while logging in to their account as well as the login. It provides an additional level of security. For example, after you have entered the online account, you will be asked for a couple of information automatically from that account. That might be your favorite car or anything.

Delete Deleted Account

Many of us have more than one online account. Maybe we're using one of them regularly, but the rest remain in abandoned condition. Hackers can easily steal your important information from these accounts. Due to this, please delete the deleted account.

Keep the phone's WiFi off

When you do not use the Internet on the phone, keep the WiFi off. Hackers always find such opportunities. Hackers will always know if you were active on some networks before the WiFi was launched on the phone. Hackers create new networks in the disguise of this network and there is the temptation to connect your phone's WiFi or Bluetooth. If you fall into temptation, defeat They will steal your information by inserting various types of malware onto your phone. Do not always keep the WiFi on the phone for this reason.

Use HTTPS

HTTPS means Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure. It is a secure communication system online, which can provide sensitive information from one website to another website. The tool 'encrypts' all the information in your browser.
