Here’s a simple habit that can make a big difference when you’re online.
Anytime you’re on your bank account or another secure website, take a second to log out before you close the page. It’s easy to just click the “X” and move on, but logging out first helps make sure everything is fully closed.
It only takes a moment, but it’s a good way to stay one step ahead when it comes to protecting your information.
Sometimes the simplest habits are the most important.
Hey, hey, hey.
It's Wednesdays with Willie,
and this week's Wednesday is
bank and cybersecurity tips.
So here's the deal.
You open your account
on the bank.
You're online when you're done.
The first thing you need
to do, and in this order, is
to log out, then close
out of your browser.
Because if you don't log out,
there's some cookies and stuff
hanging out that cyber
security thieves can go get.
So, two steps.
Log out, then close out.
