Ways to prevent Cybercrime

Using a VPN:

When you use a VPN, it encrypts your data traffic and essentially makes you invisible to anyone else in the network. This means hackers can’t steal your information because they can’t access it in the first place.

Create strong passwords:

Choosing strong, unique passwords is one of the simplest ways you can prevent online attacks. Create a strong and unique password by utilizing different letters (both uppercase and lowercase), numbers, and even special characters. Enable two-factor authentication.

Use reliable security software:

VPNs are extremely helpful, but not enough to fully secure your information. You also need software such as antivirus programs, ad blockers, and firewalls to protect your system.

Keep certain information private:


You need to keep your personal information private in the online world. Especially on social media sites, avoid putting personal information like your address, your phone number, or your place of work on websites like Facebook. Doing so makes it easier for cybercriminals to target you.
