Using the same password for multiple accounts? Stop right there! Don't risk your security. Hackers are lurking around the corner. Keep your accounts safe by using different passwords as it makes it harder for hackers to guess them. #PersonalDataisPrivate #DataPrivacyUG

Most people's mobile devices typically have WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS turned on all the time. As a result, fraudsters can connect to your device in public. If you aren't using the services, disable them. When not in use, turn off the network services. #PersonalDataisPrivate
