We, as ordinary individuals, do not have superpowers to help us stop a cyberattack; however, we have the ability to be cautious and begin to implement digital protection measures, with the purpose of safeguard our digital information. Some measures that we can implement are: Use strong and secure passwords, use secure Wi-fi networks, monitor our privacy settings on our social networks, only open secure pages and websites, update and use security patches on our devices, and make backup copies. But above all create awareness in our community, educate about the correct use of technology and the information that is uploaded to social networks.
