Since today is “Safer Internet Day”, here are seven “Don’t” tips from Google that can help you stay safe on the Internet.
Are you ready for a Safer Internet?
Here are seven tips from Google of things you need to start doing right away to stay safe online.
- Don’t use the same password for everything: It’s like handing your house keys (and every other key) to everyone you meet.
-
Safer Internet Day (SID) is organised by Insafe in February of each year to promote safer and more responsible use of online technology and mobile phones, especially amongst children and young people across the world.
The strapline for this year’s campaign is “Let’s create a better internet together”.
Don’t have an “easy” password: If your password contains the word ‘password’ or numbers in sequence, think again. One way to create (and remember) a complex password is to think of a phrase or sentence (perhaps the lyrics to a song you like?) and use the first letter of each word to create the password. Or think of places you’ve lived, and spell them backwards. Something, anything!
- Don’t rely solely on a password: It’s so yesterday to have only a password for your most important accounts. Turn on two-factor authentication. Like your bank’s OTP, an SMS code or mobile app that gives you a second code when you’re accessing your account from an unfamiliar computer will give you extra peace of mind.

And do you know that the best time to book airtickets to Thailand is 8 weeks before your departure date?

Skyscanner’s Best Time to Book analysis revealed that on average, the cheapest flight tickets from Singapore are available 26 weeks in advance of travel dates.
However, three years of booking data has also shown that price patterns can vary by type of airline and between short and long haul travel, and is very much destination dependent.
