    If you do these 7 things online, you're making it easy to get hacked

    Online security is more important than ever.

    Every day, people lose money, data, and privacy because of simple mistakes.

    In this thread, I’ll show you 7 common online habits that hackers love and how to fix them fast.

    ✅ No tech jargon

    ✅ Easy to understand

    ✅ Works for anyone using the internet

    Let’s dive in 👇

     1. Using the same password everywhere 🔑

    If one of your accounts gets hacked, all your other accounts are at risk.

    🛡️ Fix: Use a different password for every account.

    Use tools like Bitwarden or LastPass to store your passwords safely.

     

    2. Clicking random links 🚫

    Hackers send fake links that look real. One wrong click, and they can steal your info or install a virus.

    🛡️ Fix:

    • Don’t click links from strangers

    • Check the link before clicking

    • If it looks strange, don’t trust it

     

     3. Saving passwords in your browser

    It feels easy and fast, but it’s not safe. If someone hacks your device, they can see all your saved passwords.

    🛡️ Fix: Use a real password manager, not your browser.

     

     4. Using free public Wi-Fi without protection 📶

    Free Wi-Fi (like in hotels or cafes) is not safe. Hackers can see everything you're doing.

    🛡️ Fix: Use a VPN (like ProtonVPN or NordVPN to keep your data private.

     

     5. Not updating your apps or phone 

    Outdated apps have holes that hackers can use to attack your phone.

    🛡️ Fix: Turn on automatic updates for your apps and system.

     

     6. Sharing too much personal info online 

    Hackers can use things like your birthday, school, or pet’s name to guess your password or trick you.

    🛡️ Fix: Be careful what you post online. Keep personal info private.

     

    7. Using weak passwords like "123456" or "password" 

    These are the first passwords hackers will try.

    🛡️ Fix: Use strong passwords with letters, numbers, and symbols.

    Example: `MyDogEats#Rice2025`

     

    🔐 Final Security Tip:

    Your phone and laptop hold your whole life — messages, photos, bank apps, emails, and more.

    Protect them like your wallet.

    Because once hackers get in, they can take everything
