Practical security for the devices you use every day
Public Wi‑Fi basics
Cafés, hotels and airports are convenient, but open networks are easy to snoop on. Avoid logging into banking on open Wi‑Fi, and use a VPN when you can.
Spotting scam links
Check the sender, hover before you click, and be wary of urgent messages asking you to “verify” an account. Real companies rarely ask for passwords by text.
Updates matter
Most attacks use flaws that already have fixes. Turn on automatic updates for your phone, browser and apps.
Strong, unique passwords
Use a different password for every account and let a password manager remember them. Turn on two‑factor login where it is offered.
