Recommend uBlock Origin Plug-In<br>4 Thou shalt update PC\/Phone\/Firewall\/AV\/Browser on a schedule.  If your phone can&#8217;t run latest OS, its time to upgrade. (get one with fingerprint unlock)  Allow 1 week for patches to work out bugs.<br>5 Portable Devices (phones, laptops) containing company data (email) shall have lock screen enabled, must auto lock after 15min.  OS must be minimum latest minus 1 (no old versions of Android)  Device must support remote wipe or Encrypted storage.  Thou shalt not install from unofficial sources (Fortnite)<br>6 Thou shalt Backup to offline\/version controlled\/immutable storage. <br>7 Thou shalt not advertise your password reset questions on social media.  IE your mothers maiden name.  Offset your birthday by 1 day.<br>8 Thou shalt use a VPN when on public wifi.  (coffee shop, airport, hotel)  NordVpn or work VPN<br>9 Thou shalt not use the same password everywhere!  Use a password manager (LastPass)  and make a QRcode of your strong, master password (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.qrcode-monkey.com\/#text\">qrcode-monkey.com<\/a>)<br>10 Thou shalt not leave devices with their default password!   (Wireless Router, IoT devices, WebCams, anything cloud enabled)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cyber-Master Bonus:  Enable 2 Factor Auth on email and LastPass.  Email is used to reset every other online password.   If you must use SMS 2FA ask your phone carrier to set a SIM PIN (put it in your Password Manager).  (makes SIM-Swap attacks more difficult)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1 Thou shalt not click links in email! 2 Thou shalt not transfer money or change banking information without confirming with a voice or video call 3 Thy Browser (NOT&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[2,3],"class_list":["post-55","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorised","tag-personal","tag-smb"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/increasec.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/increasec.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/increasec.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/increasec.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/increasec.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=55"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/increasec.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2695,"href":"https:\/\/increasec.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55\/revisions\/2695"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/increasec.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=55"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/increasec.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=55"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/increasec.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=55"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
