Did you know that everyday posts can give away more than you intend? That innocent photo of your afternoon snack could show where you work, where you bank, your home street name or your daily routine; all piece-by-piece clues that cybercriminals use for identity theft or targeted scams. Every time you post, remember to keep your personal life personal. Share the memory but not the data. #CyberSecurityAwarenessMonth #BeCyberSmart #TekanaOnline ————————————————— Wari uzi ko ibyo ushyira ku mbuga nkoranyambaga buri munsi bishobora kugutangaho amakuru menshi kurusha uko ubitekereza?
