Some tips to help you stay safe online
Set up an account just for you
Don't let anyone else set up a Simply Be account in your name.Set strong passwords
A strong password is at least 8 characters, including a combination of upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols (such as !#*+=&£$).Check the website is secure
Make sure the web address begins with https and that a tiny locked padlock symbol appears next to the URL.Keep your devices up to date
Having the latest security software, web browser, and operating system are the best defenses against online threats. Turn on automatic updates so you receive the newest fixes as soon as they become available.Watch out for phishing scams
Phishing scams use fraudulent emails and websites to trick users into disclosing private account or login information. Don't click on links, or open any attachments or pop-up screens from sources you don't recognise.Share with care
Before you put anything on social media, think how it could be used against you. Fraudsters like to search profiles to find things they can use.
