users will find themselves in need of a WiFi connection.\u00a0 Often times, users will connect to a public WiFi connection to conduct whatever business they need to accomplish.\u00a0 This\u00a0may include online banking, checking work emails, researching a topic, or even updating their social media accounts.<\/p>\n<p>All of which, should not be done through public WiFi.\u00a0 These connections are not secure and often used by hackers to infiltrate devices.\u00a0 In addition, if users are not using the Bluetooth\u00a0on their mobile devices, it is best to shut it off.\u00a0 This is yet another way cyber criminals have infected devices.<\/p>\n<p>In order to avoid these cyber attacks, users are encouraged to only use private, and secure connections.\u00a0 This may be through a hot-spot offered through their wireless provider, or only using cellular data.<\/p>\n<p>But is this always possible?\u00a0 No.\u00a0 There will be times where the user does not have enough data to check their emails, or users will still connect to WiFi without thinking of the risks.\u00a0 To keep your device and information as secure as possible, it is important users update their devices with the most recent software updates.\u00a0 They&#8217;re also encouraged to keep all third-party applications updated.\u00a0 In addition, enabling a security solution on all devices is critical.<\/p>\n<p>For PC Matic users, PC Matic is available for Android devices.\u00a0 To download, please follow the steps below:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Go to the Google Play Store<\/li>\n<li>Search for &#8220;PC Matic for Android&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Download the app<\/li>\n<li>Login using existing PC Matic credentials<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition to the tips above, users should also be sure their implementing proper password protection on both the device and apps.\u00a0 If a user were to lose a device, hackers would have immediate access to almost anything on it.\u00a0 The only way to prevent this is to use password protection for the device.<\/p>\n<p>Do you have any tips or tricks for cyber security while on the go?\u00a0 If so, drop them in a comment
