Part 7/10:
Avoid Public Wi-Fi for Sensitive Activities: Public networks, like those in cafes or airports, are hotspots for attackers. Always use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) when connecting to public Wi-Fi, and avoid conducting banking or confidential work transactions on unsecured networks.
Install Security Tools and Regularly Update Software: Use security applications that periodically scan for malware and vulnerabilities. Keeping the device’s operating system updated ensures that security patches are in place to mitigate known threats.
Be Cautious with App Downloads: Download apps solely from official app stores, and scrutinize app permissions. Be wary of apps that request unnecessary access to personal data or device functionalities.
