  • Keep your operating system, apps, and antivirus software up to date to patch vulnerabilities that hackers exploit.

4. Be Cautious with Downloads

  • Disable unnecessary permissions, like location access or microphone use, for apps that don’t need them.

6. Use Privacy Tools

  • Install ad blockers and anti-tracker tools, such as Maverick, to prevent third-party trackers from collecting your data.

7. Stay Vigilant Against Phishing

  • Don’t click on suspicious links or open attachments from unknown senders.
  • Verify emails or messages claiming to be urgent or asking for sensitive information.

8. Practice Safe Browsing

  • Avoid connecting to public Wi-Fi without using a Virtual Private Network (VPN).
