What you do online can have real consequences for you and the people you care about. To mitigate the digital threats that can affect you, your work, and your community, Access Now’s Digital Security Helpline created the following GIFs that provide useful tips for protecting your accounts and data online.
These simple steps can help you avoid unnecessary risks and prevent your personal information from falling into the wrong hands. They can also help you maintain control over your accounts, protect your contacts, and defend against losing credibility with your followers.
We encourage you to follow these steps to improve your digital safety, and to share them with your friends and colleagues so they can also better protect themselves, and your shared networks, from digital threats.
