3. Giving out too much information on-line.
4. Connecting to unprotected public networks.
5. Clicking on dodgy links.

There are so many people out there with good skills used for evil purposes. I don’t know what you do about that, but I have some ideas...

6: Just don’t put any financial info on your cell phone.

The only thing saved on my phone is my contact list, no saved passwords or credit card info. I do all that stuff at home on my PC which is more secure.

'Don't click on dodgy links'

I've always wondered...is copying the URL in a link then pasting it into the address bar of a browser the same thing as clicking on it?. Someone told me it is not and the clicking action is what the hackers need.
