#3 Hacking

Hacking is a form of cyber-attack, a punishable crime. Hackers gain unauthorized access to data of the computing devices, be it your PC or other smart devices.  They are much more sophisticated than the secret pastime hackers which operate from the basement of their house. And the open access to the social media invites these cyber criminals to your device. According to online statistics, every three in four people have had their data compromised at some point of time in their lives. The Following pointers can help in guarding oneself against hacking: use the ‘Do not track’ feature on your browser while visiting websites; clear cookies from your system regularly; use a secondary e-mail Id (not used for personal mailing) for sign-ups; use a VPN (Virtual Private Network) - a VPN allows you to encrypt your signal, making your IP address completely illegible to hackers.
