Password Hygiene
Never reuse passwords. Use a password manager and enable 2FA everywhere possible.
Opportunity Scams
Verify all internships & online job offers. Contact companies through official channels.
Public Wi-Fi Safety
Avoid logging into sensitive accounts on public Wi-Fi. Use a VPN if necessary.
