The rise in digital fraud that is currently occurring is because there are still many people who do not understand what constitutes personal data. Personal data should not be uploaded carelessly, especially on social media, because it is vulnerable to misuse by other people. This personal data includes parents' names, date of birth, email address and KTP.
3. Activate Two-Factor Authentication
Currently, more and more social media or messaging applications have the Two-factor Authentication feature. This feature allows you to get double protection for your account so that it is not easily compromised by other people. Some examples of platforms that have this feature include Gmail, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
4. Using Incognition Mode
The next way to maintain data security is to use incognito or private mode when browsing. The advantage of using this mode is that it can erase your browsing history.
5. Only transact on trusted platforms
Now there are many platforms or websites that offer goods/services for carrying out online transactions. Shopping activities can threaten data security if not done carefully.
6. Be careful when using public Wi-Fi
Public Wi-Fi is not always secure, so it's best to avoid sharing personal data when using public Wi-Fi.
In this way of the large losses that will be experienced, it is very important to realize how important it is to maintain data security. By protecting personal data properly, we can protect ourselves from various risks that may occur. So, to prevent potential losses due to weak data security, make sure you only access websites that use SSL (Secure Socket Layer). The characteristic is that the HTTP version has changed to HTTPS, S represents the word Secure. In this way, your data can no longer be viewed on the website when exchanging data.
