   • Avoid using easily guessable codes like “1234” or your birth year.

2. Keep Your Phone Software Updated

   • Updates include critical security patches that protect against the latest threats.

3. Be Cautious with App Permissions

   • Only download apps from trusted sources (Google Play, Apple App Store).

   • Check what data and permissions apps are requesting — deny anything that seems unnecessary.

4. Enable Remote Wipe & Find My Phone

   • Use built-in features like “Find My iPhone” or “Find My Device” to track or erase your phone if lost or stolen.

5. Avoid Public Wi-Fi for Sensitive Tasks

   • Public networks are unsecured and ideal for hackers. Use a VPN if you need to connect outside your secure home or office.
