Internet Safety Tips – Santa’s Watching!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, or at least my favorite time of the year! I know everyone loves shopping, eating cookies, and gathering with loved ones, yet 2020 has pushed most of those holiday staples to go virtual. With that in mind, everyone needs to be mindful of internet safety tips that can make sure your virtual holiday festivities don’t end up as headaches that you have to deal with after ringing in 2021!

Santa wants you to remember:
1. Keep your passwords strong and private!
2. Only purchase from websites that are secure and reputable!
3. Santa and the Internet remembers things for ever!

I am listing a few web pages that I found have good resources for tips to utilize this holiday season! And as always, the ATU OIS Information Security office is available to help answer any questions you have regarding security. Have a wonderful holiday, stay safe, and we will see you next semester!
