- Instead of using a public computer you should use your smartphone or a computer terminal at home.

If there are too many Apps and multiple accounts it is advisable to use a professional password manager. Use antivirus software to ensure that the hardware and the software system are protected well. Also avoid putting plain text in the password – rather use alphabets, numbers and characters for robust passwords. Avoid using the same password for all accounts.
- Always remember to logout of banking and online payments sites and Apps before you leave your system or handover your phone to another person, even if he or she is the closest people in your life.
- Do not download apps from any random source. Verify the source thoroughly before downloading. Read about the developer and the owning company and also browse through reviews online.
