USAOhio Attorney General Mike DeWine called online users to be watchful of their passwords and online accounts to keep safe from cybercriminals. This appeal surfaced after news about Russian hackers get into 1.2 billion email accounts and passwords worldwide. DeWine presented some tips such as changing passwords frequently as much as possible and monitor their accounts.  He said it is advisable to have different passwords for different accounts. When it comes to passwords, it is wise to use long and complex ones by including special characters and number combinations. One’s password must not also be stored on notes, smartphones or computers. He further advised to monitor online accounts and emails for possible discrepancies.
