For many, personal information is the gateway to finances, medical records, and credit scores. The privacy of these personal information has never been as important as it is today, with most transactions going digital and thus increasing the chances of getting your account hacked, and your money hijacked. Here are some tips on keeping such crucial information secure.

One is to protect all your devices with passwords. Along with this is not settling for easy to decipher word or number combinations like your own or another family member’s birthdate. Secondly, be suspicious of any free download offers, as clicking on these could activate a virus or any other malicious software that can get your files erased or shared by hackers.

When buying apps for your smartphone or PC, get them only from trusted app stores like Apple Store or Google Play. Never trust third-party sources. Also, there are many similarly named (or clone) software that looks like the one you need, so be careful, too, when looking at the app’s name. To be sure, check if the app is verified by the store.

When alerted, don’t hesitate to update your computer and mobile devices. These patches are often for security purposes and are very important especially to thwart new viruses or malware. In line with this, avoid rooting a mobile device as it not only voids the warranty but can become a gateway for malware to access your phone.
