1. Use end-to-end encryption: This encrypts the data from the sender and decrypts it only at the receiver’s end, preventing any interception in between.
1. Verify digital certificates: Ensure that the digital certificates being used are legitimate and issued by a trusted authority.
1. Always use secure connections: Use secure protocols like HTTPS, SSL, or TLS, which can authenticate the website and encrypt data as it’s being transmitted.
1. Be cautious of public Wi-Fi: Avoid using public Wi-Fi networks or unsecured networks that do not have a password or encryption, as they are easily infiltrated by attackers.
1. Use two-factor authentication: Two-factor authentication provides an extra layer of security and prevents attackers from accessing your accounts even if they have your login credentials.
1. Keep your software up-to-date: Keeping your software up-to-date ensures that the software’s security vulnerabilities are fixed and that it can protect against the latest threats.
1. Be aware of phishing attacks: Attackers may use phishing attacks to trick you into revealing sensitive information. Always verify the sender’s identity before opening any attachments, links, or emails.
