19、yber-attacks: 1. Make your password harder to hack Hard passwords include upper and lower case letters, numbers and special characters. They should be at least eight characters in length.

20、ber. 2. Change your password regularly A very common mistake made by users is to create one hard password, but then never change it.

These services permit users to easily store and secure their passwords. 3. Clear your browser history This goes for all the devices you use in a dayyour home computer,

These services might be
24、 useful, but theyre also an easy way for hackers to access everything on your device. Unless you really need it, it is best not to use it. 5. Watch what you click One of the most popular and successful ways hackers infect your computer is through a technique called phishing. Phishing occurs when som
25、eone opens an email attachment that looks real. But the attachment is actually a virus that immediately infects the users computer. If someone sends you a file or a website you did not ask for, it is best not to click on it. 6. Try not to use public computers For many people, not using a public comp
26、uter can be difficult. Those without a computer or Internet access at home often use Internet cafes to get online. However, the more different people use a computer, the more likely a virus has infected it. Ok, all in all, if you follow the above six tips, it will be much more difficult for hackers
