Your Online Safety Matters – 10 Simple Tips.

At Ezee Fiber, we believe that fast, reliable internet should always come with peace of mind. Just as we’re committed to delivering the best fiber internet to our communities, we also care about keeping you and your family safe while online.

That’s why we’ve put together these 10 essential online safety tips—easy habits that go a long way in protecting your personal information, devices, and loved ones.

1. Use Strong Passwords

A strong password is your first line of defense against hackers. Choose one that’s unique and hard to guess by mixing upper- and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. Avoid obvious choices like your birthday, your pet’s name, or “12345.”

Pro Tip: Use different passwords for each account and consider a password manager to keep track of them securely.

2. Enable Two-Factor Authentication

Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of protection. In addition to your password, you’ll confirm your identity through a text code, authenticator app, or fingerprint scan. Even if someone gets your password, 2FA makes it much harder for them to get in.

3. Be Careful with Links

Phishing emails and texts often look like the real thing but can trick you into sharing personal info. If something seems suspicious, don’t click. Instead, go directly to the company’s official website or use a trusted contact method.

4. Update Devices Regularly

Updates don’t just add new features—they also patch security flaws that hackers exploit. Enable automatic updates on your phone, computer, and apps, or check often to stay current.

5. Secure Your Wi-Fi

Your home network is the gateway to all your devices. Always protect it with a strong password and never share it publicly. At Ezee Fiber, we use eero routers that provide built-in security features like WPA2/WPA3 encryption, automatic updates, and guest network options. For even more protection, Ezee Fiber provides an eero Secure subscription with every eligible eero device so that you can enjoy enhanced security and peace of mind on us. Eero Secure includes a dynamic internet alternative connection, advanced online security, content filters, block and allow sites and apps, block ads & historic network insights.

6. Watch What You Share

Think twice before posting personal details like your home address, phone number, or travel plans. Scammers often use this info for identity theft or burglary. Keep private information off public platforms whenever possible.

7. Shop on Trusted Sites

Before entering payment info online, check that the site address starts with “https://”. Stick with well-known retailers and be cautious of “too good to be true” deals.

8. Check Your Privacy Settings

Social media platforms and apps collect a lot of data by default. Take a few minutes to review your privacy settings—limit who can see your posts, location, and personal info.

9. Back Up Your Data

Whether it’s family photos or important documents, make sure you have backups stored in the cloud or on an external drive. If your device is ever lost, stolen, or hacked, you’ll still have your files.

10. Talk to Your Family

Online safety is a team effort. Teach your kids and older family members how to spot phishing attempts, fake websites, and suspicious downloads. The more your family knows, the safer they’ll be online.
