Digital dividends becomes a challenge to the digital divides.

The fear of unauthorized access is way higher during these times as hackers know a large portion of the population is working from home. Every small and medium business needs to have a strong access control policy defined for their employees.
More than half of the data breaches happen due to weak or old passwords. Use passwords, and strong passwords and change time at regular intervals. Do not write down your passwords on your laptop/computers.
If you move away from your computer, even for a washroom break, lock your computer. It doesn’t matter that you’re living alone and don’t have anyone around.
There are multiple tools available to see if your password is compromised.
# Require two-factor authentication/multi-factor authentication
# Beware of phishing emails and messages
# Secure your home networks
# Use free tools like Quad9 to protect against DNS-based attacks and block known malicious websites through it’s intelligence feeds.
