Keeping Safe online this Christmas is easy when you’ve ticked off these top tips – Online Safety Checklist

SHARE

Christmas and New Year can be an exciting time for everyone but it can also be an anxious time, with lots to remember, worries about spending and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. It is important to always be careful what you are buying online and from where as Christmas is a busy season for scammers too. They are always looking for ways to defraud which is
easier when you have a lot on your mind.

Shopping isn’t the only aspect of Christmas you need to be careful about – setting up phones and all those other online devices, using social media and making video calls all need care to keep them safe.

In conjunction Police Scotland, Get Safe Online have produced an ‘Online Safety Checklist’ to keep you and your family safe over the festive season.
