Other hacks you don't wanna miss

1. Don’t access personal or financial data with public Wi-Fi - This may seem like a no-brainer, but you’d be surprised how many people check their bank accounts or make purchases with a credit card while using public Wi-Fi. It’s best to do those things on a secure connection.

2. Turn off anything you don’t need - Hackers can use certain features on your phone to get at your information, location or connection. So, instead of keeping your GPS, wireless connection and geo-tracking on all the time, just turn them on when you need them

3. Choose your apps wisely - Only download apps from trustworthy sources that have established a good reputation. Make sure you update your software and apps regularly and get rid of old apps you don’t use.

4. Trace or erase - Make sure your data is secure if your mobile device is stolen or lost. You can set up your device to lock itself after a pre-set number of failed log-in attempts.

5. Make sure to switch off your PC/Laptop when not in use.

6. Do not write/save passwords on your phone or laptop without securing them. Using an excel sheet is the best method.

7. Disable locations from apps that don't require it.
