#FinancePH - Stay Safe Online: Essential Privacy Tips for November
Halloween might be over, but the spooky season never ends when it comes to online scams! Scammers are always on the prowl, looking for ways to trick unsuspecting victims. This November, the Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) is here to remind you to stay vigilant and practice good cybersecurity hygiene.
Cybersecurity is a Shared Responsibility
Jonathan Paz, BPI's Data Protection Officer, emphasizes the importance of cybersecurity: "The safety of our clients is our priority. BPI continuously enhances its online security measures, but we also encourage our clients to 'Maging Listo, Huwag Magpaloko' because cybersecurity is a shared responsibility."
Fun Tips to Keep Scammers at Bay
Witchcraft for Passwords: Cast a spell on your passwords by mixing letters, numbers, and symbols. A strong password is your first line of defense against hackers.
Haunted Wi-Fi: Always check the security of your Wi-Fi connection. Make sure it's password-protected and not easily accessible to strangers.
Don’t Invite Unwanted Guests: Just like you wouldn't invite random spirits into your home, don't accept friend or follow requests from strangers. Keep your social media circle small and secure.
Privacy Settings: Your Cloak of Invisibility: Utilize privacy settings to keep your data hidden from prying eyes. Explore advanced privacy options for added protection.
BPI's Commitment to Your Safety
