Many people still use very easy passwords or use the same one everywhere. That makes hacking extremely simple. Using a slightly stronger password with mixed characters keeps accounts much safer.
2FA isn’t difficult, but many people think, “Why add one more step?” and skip it. But that single extra step gives a lot more protection to your account.
People click links from emails or messages without checking the source. This often leads to malware or stolen logins. Taking just a few seconds to verify the link can prevent big problems.
People postpone updates saying, “I’ll do it later.” But updates fix serious security issues. Without them, your device becomes an easy entry for hackers. A few minutes of updating avoids huge trouble
Public Wi-Fi looks convenient, but it’s not safe. People on the same network can easily sniff your data. It’s better to avoid banking or payments while using free Wi-Fi.
People save passwords, ID scans, and personal files in random apps. If the app is weak, your data can leak within seconds. Using encrypted storage or a password manager is much safer.
Birthdays, pet names, locations… people post everything online. These details act like clues for hackers. Sharing less and keeping some privacy makes accounts more secure.
Many people keep OTPs or banking screenshots in their gallery. If the phone gets hacked, it becomes a direct risk. Deleting such screenshots right after use is safer.
People keep delaying backups. But if the phone crashes or gets hacked, all data disappears instantly. Regular cloud backups save important files and reduce stress.
