Phishing: Phishing emails look like they are from a recognized source and target you into giving them things like your banking details or login credentials to valuable data sources hence double check the address of the sender, and usually a phishing email is not 100% correct.

Mobile security: Mobile apps are full of spyware, which takes your data and shares it in the background without you having any knowledge that your data is being shared. Also,before you download an app check the permissions it is asking for

Passwords: many people use the same password for many other different sites, and hackers would have access to many of your profiles.

Public and private wifi: Do not use public wifi to access sensitive information such as mobile account because you could connect someone else’s computer and they are collecting people’s information.

Be aware: Beware, cyber-criminals are using face to face or telephone conversations, pretending to be a customer or a person wanting to do business with you to information that they can use.
