At times it’s difficult to know which site is good to click on and which ones aren’t. What happens if you click on a bad site and get hacked?
How can you tell?
1: Device slows down suddenly.
We are talking about a huge slowdown that happens overnight!
2: Data usage goes up.
This is when you haven’t changed anything but your data use goes way up.
3: Website and videos are taking forever to load or your apps just closing by themselves.
4: Pop-up ads start appearing
5: Your device does things all by itself, including restarting.
How to protect yourself:
1: Keep your software up-to-date.
2: Make sure that you have an antivirus installed.
3: Think before clicking. Hackers like spontaneous people because they think less about what they click on.
4: Make sure that you have strong passwords and two factor authentication, if available.
