Analyze two cybercrime prevention and protection methods.

Two effective methods for preventing and protecting against cybercrime are:

1. Observe safe online behavior:

   1. Use strong unique passwords online.
   2. Download files and applications only from those websites that we trust, such as from official app stores or legitimate organizations, such as our bank.
   3. Pause and think before clicking on links in email, messages or on social networking sites. Don't click on links in messages if we don't know the sender or if the message is unexpected.
   4. If a link looks suspicious or we can't tell where it leads to, before clicking, hover over that link to see the actual web address it will take us to. If we do not recognize or trust the address, try searching for relevant key terms in a web browser. This way we can find the article, video or webpage without directly clicking on the suspicious link.
   5. Beware of offers that seem too good to be true. Leave websites that ask for our personal or banking details in return for money, these are scams.

2. Online transaction handling: While making purchases online,

   1. Check if the site is reputed and has a refund policy.
   2. While making payments, check that we are using a secure connection. The URL of a secure payment page will use 'https' instead of 'http' and a padlock icon will be displayed by our browser.
   3. If the website looks suspicious or there are doubts, do not proceed.
   4. Don't use online banking or make payments with credit cards using public computers or Wi-Fi.
