How to protect against Chinese cyber attacks:
The government has advised companies to update passwords and enhanced supervision of accounts with elevated access privileges. Also, they suggest businesses implement multi-factor authentication methods.
For individuals to safeguard themselves they suggest:
– Regularly update and strengthen passwords, avoiding common words and phrases, and using a mix of characters, numbers, and symbols.
– Enable multi-factor authentication on all personal accounts, opting for app-based authenticators or physical security keys when available.
– Stay vigilant against phishing attempts by not clicking on suspicious links or downloading attachments from unknown sources.
– Keep all software, including antivirus and operating systems, up to date with the latest security patches.
