The two-factor is on, right?

We rarely give tips on sunscreen or renewal of passports. Although we know a little about it too. No, we work with IT and then we need to send you some tips before the summer takes effect. About IT in particular. And some security. And we'll start with the basics that you've probably heard a lot about lately. Two-factor authentication.

Two-factor security is something everyone offers. Everything from your job email to your Facebook profile. So do not hesitate to activate it! We want to create the longest possible path for any raw paws who try hacking and other insidious activities this summer. It is very simple and is mostly done inside settings. On some platforms, it is common for them to ask you to enable two-factor as soon as you create a profile. But on platforms where you have been around for a while, such as your private email, face book or maybe the photo disk you use, you probably have to activate it yourself.

Do you have a conscious relationship with how to create passwords and how often you change passwords? Learn more about it here: Password Hygiene

Do not click on everything

When it is a holiday for travel activities, there are extra emails and text messages that abound. Often with well-known travel companies' names. Therefore, we want to say: Do not click into everything. Make sure it is logical that you should receive information from those who send it to you. If you have not booked a trip with Apollo this year, then only marketing will send you. If they send you something other than that, it is important that you check a few extra times before you click on links in the email or SMS.

We have put together some tips on how to avoid clicking wrong and become a victim of fraud:

  • Always double check that the email address, sender's name and subject field are filled with natural information, without typos and with very great similarity to other similar emails you have received from this sender.
  • By "clicking on the link", you double-check what is in the link itself before clicking on. Hold the mouse over the link and you will get the link address. Is it a real website with a domain that is natural in terms of sender? If not, do not click.
  • Skeptical? Feel free to check the sender's official website if fraud attempts are in circulation. See example Posten.no.

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas?

That was perhaps the case 10 years ago. But with today's mobile phones, this is not the case. What you post online tends to stay online. Therefore, we recommend publishing both video, photos and texts with care. Whether it concerns you, your children, your family, your holiday and really most things.

It is also no secret that putting away your mobile phone leads to things like less stress, more coziness, more presence, better memory and good memories. So maybe not everything needs to be documented this year?

Have a really worry-free summer

And with that, I wish you a fantastic summer! We hope you avoid losing your Facebook, getting sunburned or missing your flight. Let's all dream of a safe summer together!
