Here are some steps to take in order to keep your data safe:
- Password Protection: Create a strong, unique password for your device and all of your online accounts. Make sure to keep them a secret from all but those you trust.
- Encryption: Use encryption software to turn information and data into an unreadable form to protect your information when it’s stored and sent online.
- Multi-Factor Authentication: Most websites and apps allow you to use two-factor authentication for additional protection, which means having two pieces of identifying information to log into an account.
- Regular Back-Ups: It’s important to make regular back-ups of important data and information so that you don’t lose it if something happens.
- Secure Wi-Fi: Make sure your Wi-Fi is protected or use a virtual private network (VPN) to encrypt your data when browsing the web.
- Update Fixes: Install any security updates and fixes for your device as soon as they become available.
