To protect your mobile devices, follow these best practices:

• Use Strong Passwords & Biometrics – Enable PINs, passwords, or fingerprint/face recognition.
• Keep Software Updated – Regularly update your OS and apps to patch security vulnerabilities.
• Install Security Apps – Use reputable antivirus and anti-malware software.
• Avoid Public Wi-Fi – Use a VPN if you must connect to public networks.
• Download from Trusted Sources – Only install apps from official stores like Google Play or the Apple App Store.
• Enable Remote Wipe – Activate "Find My Device" features to erase data if lost or stolen.
• Be Cautious with Links & Attachments – Avoid clicking suspicious links or opening unknown attachments.

To identify a secure website, check for the following:

• HTTPS in the URL – Secure websites use "https://" instead of "http://", indicating encrypted communication.
• Padlock Icon – A lock symbol in the address bar means the site has a valid SSL certificate.
• Trusted Domain – Verify the domain name to avoid phishing scams (e.g., "paypal.com" vs. "paypa1.com").
• No Security Warnings – Browsers warn you if a site has an expired or untrusted SSL certificate.
• Privacy Policy – Legitimate sites have a clear privacy policy detailing how they handle your data.
• No Suspicious Pop-ups or Ads – Too many pop-ups, especially asking for sensitive data, can indicate a scam.
