• Create strong passwords by including a mix of letters, numbers and symbols to stop it from being easy to guess. Additionally, try not to include any personal information in your passwords to provent possible social engineering.

• Since passwords can be stolen, you should add two-factor authentication to your online accounts as it provides a second layer of protection against possible hacking. Many online services, including apps and websites, offer entirely free options that could help you ensure that it’s actually you trying to access your account.

• Avoid clicking on suspicious links from people you don't know or installing software that you are unsure of as these can often contain programs which will log your details such as passwords for the sender to exploit.

• Make sure to log out of accounts after using public devices such as a library as this can open you to a number of negative consequences.

• Sometimes its best to be overly suspicious. It’s better to be safe than sorry and keeping a bit of healthy paranoia towards things that seem abnormal will often benefit you in the long run.
