How to Protect yourself from cyber attack?

Cyber attack is becoming a big issue, so to protect yourself from being their victim you need to follow these steps:-

Never connect to public wi-fi, or you may be a victim to an MITM(man in the middle attack) and anyone can spy on what you are doing in your device.
Always download an application from play store, downloading APK might result in the installation of trojan in your phone and a trojan on your mobile is like all your data is in the hands of the hacker.
Never use the same password for all your accounts, if the password of one of your accounts gets hacked then the hacker will have access to all of them.
Make a strong password i.e, use a combination of symbols, numbers, capital letters. For example- hello123 is a bad password but HeLl0@%4132%@ this is a strong password.
Never enter your credit card information on an unsecured website, as it might be just a Ponzi scheme to steal your money. In simple words buy online stuff from known companies like Amazon, Flipkart, etc.
Enable Two-Step verification on your accounts, so that no one can log in without the OTP that you will get on your mobile number.
Always use anti-virus on your laptop and keep updating it.
Always update the software of your phone whenever the update is available as it contains patches of known vulnerabilities.

Never reply to Spam E-Mails or messages also never open any link provided in these Spam E-mails or messages.
Don’t set your phone pin or ATM card pin as your birth date or something, always keep it random.
Change your passwords at least once or twice every year.
Never use real answers in security questions – make up memorable answers that will only make sense to you.
If there is a data breach of a particular platform, then make sure to change it’s login credentials.

Make sure you follow these steps and you will be a lot more secure from cyber attacks.

STAY SAFE!
