Avoid reusing old passwords, even if they’re easy to remember, because passwords exposed in past data breaches can still be used by attackers years later. Reusing the same password across multiple accounts makes it easier for one breach to compromise everything. Change your passwords regularly—especially for important accounts like email or banking—to reduce the risk of unauthorized access.

Avoid using public Wi-Fi for sensitive activities like online banking, work emails, or health apps because these networks are shared and often unsecured. Other people on the same network—or fake Wi-Fi hotspots—can secretly view or steal your personal information. When handling important or private tasks, use your mobile data or a trusted home or office network instead.
