Tips for combating online risks

Tips for combating online risks | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

To help consumers understand online risks and practice safe behaviors, Webroot security experts recommend the following:

 

- Phone home safely - Mobile malware is on the rise, especially on Android devices, so take a moment to swing by the marketplace or app store to install a mobile security application that will safeguard your device against attacks. Many security apps can also help you locate your phone if it is lost or stolen.

 

- Be wary of WiFi - It can be tempting to take advantage of free WiFi access points in airports, hotels or cafes, but resist the urge to use those connections to do anything other than browse.

Unsecured wireless connections can leave you vulnerable to a variety of risks, from data-stealing malware to wireless snooping of your logins or email messages by other travelers and guests.
