Picture from The Economic Times
First: use strong passwords on you computer and change them
often.
Second: Public Wi-Fi is public. If you are sitting at a restaurant
that has Wi-Fi the person sitting next to you could get into your files. Unlike
your home, Wi-Fi, which should be encrypted is public and wife open and ready
to be views by anyone who wants to do this.
Third: Keep your devices clean. Scan your device and do it
often. Do your research and get the best protection possible.
Fourth: Beware of scams. You might get an e-mail asking you
do send a friend money to Europe since his wallet has been stolen. This is a
scam, don’t do it.
Fifth: Back it up. Don’t lose your information to identity
theft. Protect your divide with a password.
