Be careful when sharing personal information online. Just because a website is asking for your information doesn’t mean it’s necessary to provide it to them. Ask who wants the information and why. Also, limit the amount of information you share on social media. Does everyone need to know the year you were born?

Keep your personal information safe and secure online, add strong passwords in combination with security questions, call your mobile carrier and ask them how can you protect your account by adding a PIN or password, and use a hardware authentication device like a yubikey.

Fraudsters can also access your social media profiles and pictures and discover personal messages which could cost you more than money lost and sim swap.
