1. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated and avoid dehydration.

2. Dress appropriately: Wear lightweight, loose-fitting, and light-colored clothing to help your body stay cool.

3. Seek shade: When outdoors, try to stay in the shade as much as possible, especially during the hottest parts of the day.

4. Take breaks: If you're working or engaging in outdoor activities, take regular breaks in a cool, shaded area to give your body a chance to rest and cool down.

5. Use sunscreen: Protect your skin from harmful UV rays by applying sunscreen with a high SPF before heading outside.

6. Limit outdoor activities: Try to schedule outdoor activities during the cooler parts of the day, such as early morning (5:00 AM to 8:00 AM) or late evening (6:00 PM to 8:00 PM), to avoid the peak heat.

Yesterday, many of us experienced a concerning situation as we found ourselves unable to access our Facebook accounts. It's understandable that this unexpected outage left us worried and even frightened about the security of our accounts. Meta, the holding company of Facebook, has since informed us that the outage was caused by a technical issue.

While we appreciate Meta's clarification, it's still crucial to take proactive steps to safeguard our Facebook accounts against potential hackers. Here are some important tips to help protect your account:

1.) Change Your Password Regularly: Make it a habit to update your Facebook password periodically. Refrain from sharing your password with anyone. Ensure your password is strong, unique, and not easily guessable.

2.) Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Adding an extra layer of security through 2FA can significantly reduce the risk of unauthorized access to your account. Facebook offers various 2FA options, including SMS codes, authentication apps, and security keys. Choose the method that works best for you.

3.) Review App Permissions: Regularly review the apps and websites that have access to your Facebook account. Remove access for any apps or services that you no longer use or trust.

4.) Be Wary of Phishing Attempts: Exercise caution when clicking on links or providing personal information, especially if you receive unsolicited messages or emails claiming to be from Facebook. Legitimate communications from Facebook will always come from official channels.

5.) Stay Updated: Keep yourself informed about the latest security features and privacy settings offered by Facebook. Stay vigilant for any announcements or updates from Facebook regarding security incidents or breaches.

While the recent outage may have caused concern, let's use it as a reminder to prioritize the security of our online accounts. By taking proactive steps and staying informed, we can better protect ourselves against potential threats.

Stay safe and secure, everyone!
