(new plantchis are coming soon, i just needed to share this first <3) CYBERSECURITY TIPS! hello everyone! today i want to spread awareness for hacking and a common type of online virus called a “trojan horse.” it’s basically a bad thing disguised as a good thing! someone might say they drew fanart of your ocs, which kinda very exciting! but then they post a link to a website you’ve never been on. if you click the link, it might end you to a dangerous website or download dangerous files to your computer! these dangerous files are called malware or viruses, and they can cause a lot of trouble! they can steal your bank account information, or personal information and sell it online. most people that make malware aren’t doing it because they hate you, they just want your money and information. change your password as fast as you can! most websites and games have a customer support team that you can contact if you need help. if you’re having trouble, it’s always a good idea to talk to a trusted adult in real life.
things to remember: please watch out for links to websites that you aren’t familiar with! it’s always good to look up a website to see what it is before you visit it! if someone says they have something (free nitro or robux) and they send you a link to it, they’re probably lying! that link will send you to a dangerous website! never make accounts on websites unless you know if they’re safe! look up a website or game before using it to make sure. enable two factor authentication on your accounts (there are tutorials on how to do this, just look up “how to enable 2fa on roblox” [or whatever website or game you’re using]) this will help protect your accounts so other people can’t get in if you have money, subscribe to an anti-malware program to protect your computer! most apple devices already have basic protection built in, but computers are easy to hack! i use malwarebytes, it works very well. ask for help from trusted adults in real life if you need it! make sure you have unique passwords for each account you have! if you only use one, the hackers can figure it out and then get into all of your accounts easily. if they’re all different, they’ll need to do a lot more work. two factor authentication also helps for further protection! please be careful guys!
