Hi there, hope you are doing great! Since October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, let’s take an opportunity and remember some basics of staying safe online - after all, it’s especially important when you actively grow your digital presence!
Strong passwords are your first line of defence. It is always better to use password manager to keep track of your password variety than to re-use same passwords for different accounts and purposes: for example, your login password and your secret password absolutely need to differ from each other. Never hesitate to reset your passwords if you feel like they might have been compromised!
2-step verification is another strong guard of your privacy: even if your email or even your password got accidentally exposed, you can always count on SMS verification to keep unwanted intruders out of your account.
Monitor login attempts: you can always check on your login history in your Fancentro Account Settings, as well as revoke access from other devices. Be on the lookout for our messages as well: Fancentro always automatically notifies you about suspicious login attempts.
Geo-blocking is a helpful tool to prevent your profile being exposed to the areas you would not want your fans to be coming from - just don’t forget to add your own IP address to exceptions if you are blocking the area you are currently in. Using VPN to encrypt your connection is also a good idea, especially when using public Wi-Fi networks.
Stay aware: scammers may try and use fresh new tactics each time, but if you know where to look, you are much less likely to fall for those. Pay attention to email addresses and links sent to you, be suspicious of unsolicited messages asking for personal information and do not hesitate to block and report users who try to solicit payments outside Fancentro and ask for your payment information or socials.
Cybersecurity is an ongoing process, so do not hesitate to implement these tips into your daily online experience. If you ever have concerns about your account security on Fancentro, just reach out to our support team, and we’ll gladly assist in keeping your account, your fans and your business safe!
Stay safe, stay creative, and keep rocking the digital world!
