Phishing is a type of cyberattack where attackers disguise themselves as trusted entities to trick victims into revealing sensitive information like passwords or financial data, usually through fake emails or websites.

Create a strong password by using a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. Make it at least 12 characters long and avoid using easily guessable info like birthdays or names.

Malware, or malicious software, is software designed to harm or exploit a computer system. Examples include viruses, worms, trojans, and ransomware.

Protect your data online by using encryption tools, enabling two-factor authentication, regularly updating software, using strong and unique passwords, and being cautious with emails and links from unknown sources.

A firewall is a security system designed to monitor and control incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predetermined security rules, helping to block unauthorized access to your system.

If you’re a victim of a data breach, change your passwords immediately, monitor your accounts for suspicious activity, consider placing a credit freeze to prevent identity theft, and notify the relevant authorities or service providers.
