Thanks for asking that question kvn murty sir

Why do we need safe browsing practices? 
Internet is a place which can be dangerous if we dont pay attention to the SECURITY. Only antivirus is not enough. Hackers can easily bypass the antivirus.

Now comes to your question.

If my account ever hacked on Emailing sites, Social media or on brainly, I will not be panic because I knew the security measures to recover my account. I will automatically notified by the Breach Alarm. 

Then, I will ask the following questions to myself 
1)Have I logged into my account in the past from the same device? 
2)Have I activated 2-step verification 
3)Have I set a backup email for my account 
4)Have I remembered a past password or answer any security questions 
5)Have I had a contact to the administrator, Moderators, leaders on brainly/slack

If any of these questions I will get the answer 'YES' then will surely recover my account immediately 

For the security in the future I will do the following settings in my account - - 
1)Change my old password and create a strong password with the help of the tool LastPass

2)Review my emailing and social media accounts settings and confirm the recovery mobile number, email address, and other security settings. 

3)On brainly I will change my old password and review the recovery email address. 

At last I will contact the cyber security expert /Cyber Police to take necessary actions both in present and future

Please like, comment and share this information to every brainly user so that they can secure their accounts and get help in need. 

STAY SAFE

Hey Everyone! ☺

I would share with you some quick tips for ensuring your cybersecurity.

Before something untoward occurs, take note of the following tips :

♦ Those who have signed up for any account with their FB or Google must be alert regarding the security of the linked a/c as well. If someone hacks your FB or Google, they can login easily to the linked accounts too.

♦ Don't believe any of your e-friends blindly. But still, password is not be shared even to the closest people. 'Pass'word must not be 'passed'.

♦ Your password must be very secure & random. Avoid common words as your password.

Eg: Password, brainly, etc. that are common words for Brainliacs mustn't be your Brainly password. Same is applicable for all social media.

♦ Your password must have random characters, ie, digits & alphabets. It must not be some 3-5 letter words. The more complex your password is, the more strong is your a/c.

PS: Obviously, password must be easy to remember for you or you'll end up with Forgot Password option. :P

♦ If possible, change your passwords frequently & never share it with anyone.

♦ Make sure to log out from all your accounts every time you are done with your job. Especially, if you are not on your own device or on a shared network. Even when password is changed, some sites won't log you out from other devices.

♦ Browsing in Incognito mode while on temporarily used or shared devices can help you reduce the risk of letting others know your web info. It also will automatically log you out once the tab is closed.

♦ Use your brains to frame your passwords just as you frame your Brainly answers. I'm sure there are none without brains. ;)

♦ Most of the hacking incidents are results of the pitty mistakes of users. They don't understand how threatening it is to share your passwords in friend circles. Be wise & don't let others intrude into your accounts.

♦ Don't share your confidential info in insecure websites like torrents.

Now, after you are hacked :

♣ Imediately try changing your password if you are logged in & that might help in certain instances.

♣ Report instantly to website administration team (in case of Brainly, it's Mod Team).

♣ Get your account freezed or temporarily suspended if it's out of control.

DON'T THINK OF THE DATA YOU HAVE IN YOUR ACCOUNT THAT MIGHT GET LOST ON DELETING ACCOUNT. IT'S BETTER TO DELETE THEM RATHER THAN HAVE IT MISUSED BY UNKNOWN. YOU CAN RESTORE THE DATA ONCE THE SITUATION IS UNDER CONTROL.

♣ Don't hesitate to contact Cyber Cell if the hacker has attacked you. In case you are too young, request adults to help.

In case you face a hack issue here on Brainly, contact moderators & our legal team will help you with the required.

Future Actions :

♦ Once you are safe, review all your security settings like Password, Email Verification, Phone Verification, etc. & rectify the faults you have in them.

♦ Never access websites without up-to-date security certificate which you can find beside address bar of your browser. (probably a lock icon)

In case of Brainly, its web security is verified by COMODO CA LIMITED & thereby is not a fraud site. It also enjoys high security from CloudFlare.

These are my quick tips for your cyber security. Share it with your beloved ones too & make them e-secure just like you.
