passwords-
Mostly people don’t know the difference between
strong and weak passwords. Keeping your password strong, is the best security

contain numbers, both uppercase and lowercase letters and a symbol or two
(optional). Always make your passwords to be more than eight characters long.

passwords, because these are your personal information. Keeping personal
details as passwords, is an easy guess for anyone to hack your account.

Be careful about public Wi-Fi.

travel blogger on the road or in airports. And you are using those unsafe
public Wi-Fi. A hacker can be available on the same network and can see what
you are doing, can pass all your information/data form your device to their own
device or directly access your computer. Of course! This is a huge security risk.
Thera
are few steps to protect yourself from public Wi-Fi. If you are using public
Wi-Fi, then turn off sharing within your network and try to keep your Wi-Fi off
if you are not using it. Make sure you are opening all your websites with HTTPS
(browser extension). In last, you should start considering VPN.
5.
Use a VPN.
A virtual private network (VPN), it works like a
tunnel, taking all your information from source to destination safely, and
preventing others from interfering. VPN`s used by multiple users.
Which means if a hacker is trying to access your
data, all they can see is encrypted information. Some VPN providers also
include anti-malware or anti spyware measures in service, which ads more
protection to the anti-virus which you are using.
If
you really want to keep your data save, then use at least one VPN. It will also
save data in certain situations while using public unsecured Wi-Fi or handling
sensitive data.
