Cybersecurity threats are constantly evolving and continually emerging. Keeping these threats “at bay” is challenging for everyone: individuals, organizations, and security professionals.
Here are some ways you can help protect your online safety and privacy:
· Use strong and unique passwords: Use complex passwords that are difficult to guess and avoid using the same password for multiple accounts.
· Enable two-factor authentication: This adds an extra layer of security to your accounts by requiring a second form ofv erification, such as a code sent to your phone or email.
· Keep software up to date: Make sure to regularly update your operating system and other software, as updates often include security fixes.
· Use reputable antivirus software: Install and use antivirus software from a trusted source to help protect against malware and other threats.
· Be cautious of phishing attacks: Be wary of emails, text messages, or other communications that ask for your personal information or contain suspicious links or attachments.
· Use a virtual private network (VPN): AVPN encrypts your internet connection and can help protect your privacy when browsing the web.
· Backup your data: Regularly backup your important data to an external hard drive or cloud storage service.
· Be cautious of public Wi-Fi: Avoid using potentially insecure public Wi-Fi for sensitive activities such as online banking.
· Limit personal information online: Be cautious about sharing personal information online and adjust your privacy settings on social media and other platforms to limit the amount of information that is publicly available.
Importantly, please note that all funds invested with Q Wealth are held by NBIN (National Bank) - a separate custodian. Even if someone were to find out your password, online transfers or withdrawals are not directly possible. Withdrawals or changes must be voice-verified by our ElevateWealth Management team. And finally, we can only transfer your funds to a bank account for which you have provided a personalized void cheque.
