Prevention · before an incident
Reduce the most common risks
A few simple reflexes block the vast majority of everyday attacks. The measures below are sorted by effort (15 minutes, 1 hour, to check every month), and each one shows the risk it reduces.
We will never ask for your codes, passwords or card number.
The 3 steps that protect you most
On their own, they shut the door on most account hacks.
The right reflexes, where it counts
Take what applies to you, at your own pace. Each area strengthens the others.
Passwords & accounts
A long, unique password for each account, kept in a password manager protected by a strong master password.
Two-factor authentication
Turn on 2FA (passkey, physical key or app rather than texts) and keep your recovery codes somewhere safe.
Email, your safe
Your email can reset almost all your accounts: protect it first, and check forwarding rules and sessions.
Phone & computer
Screen lock, updates installed promptly, apps from the official stores only, and caution with “accessibility” or “admin” permissions.
Backups
Two copies of your irreplaceable data, one of them offline. Test a restore: a backup that has never been tested is not a backup.
Banking & shopping
Alerts turned on, a virtual card or a suitable limit for online payments. No legitimate person will ever ask you to “confirm” a transaction in order to block it.
Privacy & social media
Limit what you post (address, time away, date of birth) and review the privacy settings of your accounts and old posts.
Router & Wi-Fi
Change your router’s default admin password, use WPA2/WPA3 Wi-Fi with a long key, and a guest network for connected devices.
Take stock of your security
In your Galyct Perso space, a security check-up gives you your level, your priorities and your regular habits, simply. You can also monitor your accounts and keep a routine up to date. The essentials stay on your device; you are told whenever a feature needs to send something.
Does a message look suspicious?
Check before you click or reply. A text, an email, a link or a call can look official while being fraudulent, and even the number shown can be spoofed.
- Never give out a code received by text
- Type the address of a sensitive site yourself
- If in doubt, hang up and call the official number
In all honesty. No protection is absolute, and zero risk does not exist. But prevention greatly reduces the chances of being hit, and limits the damage when it happens. And if an incident happens anyway, the free diagnosis guides you, step by step.
Stay one step ahead of scams.
Do your security check-up, or start the free diagnosis if you already have a doubt.
