There are steps that you can take to protect your data.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How To Securely Store Your Data<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Strong Passwords<\/strong><br \/>\nThe old way of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.psafe.com\/en\/blog\/googles-password-alert-tool-helps-prevent-phishing-attacks\/\" target=\"_blank\">creating passwords<\/a><\/strong> was to use a random combination of letters, numbers, and symbols. Now, however, even that advice has changed. To really protect yourself, create a password that features at least three sets of completely unrelated words, like \u201ctree,\u201d \u201croll,\u201d and \u201cblue.\u201d Use symbols, letters, and numbers between these words. It is said that hackers have a harder time with this approach. Whatever you do, do not use the same password in multiple places.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.psafe.com\/en\/blog\/googles-onscreen-security-notifications-android\/\" target=\"_blank\">Read More: Google\u2019s Onscreen Security Notifications for Android<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Use Protective Software<\/strong><br \/>\nWhether you are on a mobile phone or your laptop, you need to make sure you have antivirus protection in place. Malware and viruses are on the rise when it comes to cell phones. With so much personal data stored in one place, the only way to help keep it safe is to make it as hard as possible for thieves to get in unnoticed. Install <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.psafe.com\/en\/antivirus-acelerador-limpeza-android\/total\/\" target=\"_blank\">PSafe Total<\/a><\/strong> on your Android device and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.psafe.com\/en\/antivirus-acelerador-limpeza-windows\/total\/\" target=\"_blank\">PSafe Total Windows<\/a><\/strong> on your computer. It\u2019s a great way to keep your gadgets safe and secure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Really Delete Your Files<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen you\u2019ve deleted a file, you need to make sure it is actually gone. It\u2019s an important way of making sure that your data is secure. But, deleting a file is only half the battle. It may remove the reference to the file in the file system table, but the file still lives on in the disk \u2014 and could be recovered. To prevent that from happening, you must overwrite it with other information, rendering it unreadable. There are free tools and programs that can help with that task.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Password Protection<\/strong><br \/>\nHave you enabled password protection on your Android phone? If you have not set up a lockscreen, do it now. Your data will not be securely stored on your cell phone without it. Add in lock screen protection by heading to your \u201cSettings\u201d menu. You can also add a second password to important apps with PSafe Total\u2019s Vault feature.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is your data unsecure?
