Be Cautious with Links and Attachments: Never open emails, messages, or attachments from unknown or suspicious sources, as they may contain malware or phishing attempts.
Keep Your Software Updated: Regularly update your operating system, antivirus, and applications to protect against the latest security threats.
Protect Your Personal Information: Avoid sharing sensitive details online, including on social media, to minimize the risk of identity theft and fraud.

By following these simple but effective steps, you can greatly reduce your risk of falling victim to cybercrime.
