  • SMS scams – Be aware of unexpected text messages, especially those asking for sensitive information or those that include links.
  • Public Wi-Fi – Avoid accessing sensitive information via Public WiFi, ideally connect with VPN enabled.
  • Adware – Other than adware being annoying, this is less harmful but can expose you to other threats.
