What are the most common smartphone security threats?

Common threats include malware, phishing scams, unsecure public Wi-Fi networks, data breaches through malicious apps, and physical theft or loss leading to unauthorized access.

How can I enhance my smartphone's security?

Use strong, unique passcodes or biometrics, keep software updated, install apps only from official stores, enable two-factor authentication, and be cautious of suspicious links and downloads.

Is it safe to use public Wi-Fi networks on my smartphone?

Public Wi-Fi is generally not secure and can expose your data. Avoid accessing sensitive information (like banking) on public networks. Using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) can provide additional protection.

What is two-factor authentication (2FA) and why is it important?

2FA adds an extra layer of security by requiring two forms of verification (e.g., password plus a code from your phone). It significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access even if your password is stolen.
