Delete inactive accounts and apps you don’t use, which may still be collecting and sharing data. Keep all software, operating systems and apps that you do use up to date. #DataPrivacyWeek #Privacy #PrivacyMatters #Data #DataProtection

Think before sharing info online. What you post lives on forever, and even if you have privacy settings in place on your social media accounts, your posts might be shared by others. Never take online quizzes that ask you to share personal information. #DataPrivacyWeek #Privacy

Gen AI can be a helpful tool, but remember these systems learn from user inputs. Never share private info (personal, financial, or work data). AI models also often scrape data from the internet and may use information you share publicly online. #DataPrivacyWeek #Privacy

Ask yourself why an app, game or company would need access to information that isn’t related to the service it provides. If you aren’t comfortable sharing, don’t use it. If you do use an app, turn off unnecessary features to limit what you share. #DataPrivacyWeek #Privacy

Using an app, service or game may not be worth the amount or type of personal data you have to share in return. Take the time to review privacy policies, notices and user agreements, and make sure you are aware of and agree with how your information will be used. #DataPrivacyWeek

Protect yourself with Multifactor Authentication! It makes you 99% less likely to be hacked because it adds a second layer of protection, like a texted code, to your accounts. MFA is very important for social media and financial accounts. #CyberSecureNC #CybersecurityAwareness

Phishing can strike by way of emails, texts, social media messages or fake websites designed to trick you into sharing personal information. Everyone should check every message for signs of phishing before opening links or responding. #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth #CyberSecureNC
Infographic by NCDIT highlighting that only 67% of people often or very always check their messages for signs of phishing before clicking or responding. The background is a stylized blue wave pattern, and there's a large sign resembling a neon light with the word 'PHISHING' and an arrow, along with a silhouette of a fisher.

Never share confidential information with AI tools. Many AI platforms rely on user inputs to train their models, which means data you share with them could be stored or exposed. #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth #CyberSecureNC #BeCyberSmart #CyberAware stat from: @staysafeonline
