Ignore pop-ups Pop-ups can contain malicious software which can trick a user into verifying something. Always ignore pop-ups offering things like site surveys on e-commerce sites, as they are sometimes where the malcode is. Be wary of public Wi-Fi Most Wi-Fi hotspots do not encrypt information and once a piece of data leaves your device headed for a web destination, it is "in the clear" as it transfers through the air on the wireless network, says Symantec's Sian John. If you choose to bank online on public Wi-Fi, that's very sensitive data you are transferring.

We advise either using encryption [software], or only using public Wi-Fi for data which you're happy to be public — and that shouldn't include social network passwords. Thinking about having one for your bank and other financial accounts, another for shopping and one for social networks. If one account is hacked, you won't find everything compromised. And it helps you spot phishing emails, because if an email appears in your shopping account purporting to come from your bank, for example, you'll immediately know it's a fake. It's true that Macs used to be less of a target, simply because criminals used to go after the largest number of users — ie Windows — but this is changing.
Don't store your card details on websites Err on the side of caution when asked if you want to store your credit card details for future use. Mass data security breaches where credit card details are stolen en masse aren't common, but why take the risk? The extra 90 seconds it takes to key in your details each time is a small price to pay. Add a DNS service to protect other devices A DNS or domain name system service converts a web address a series of letters into a machine-readable IP address a series of numbers. But they shouldn't be relied upon as the only line of defence, as they can easily be bypassed.
Enable two-step verification If your email or cloud service offers it — Gmail, Dropbox, Apple and Facebook do — take the trouble to set this up. In addition to entering your password, you are also asked to enter a verification code sent via SMS to your phone. In the case of Gmail you only have to enter a fresh code every 30 days or when you log on from a different computer or device. So a hacker might crack your password, but without the unique and temporary verification code should not be able to access your account.
Lock your phone and tablet devices Keep it locked, just as you would your front door. Keying in a password or code plus times a day might seem like a hassle but, says Lookout's Derek Halliday, "It's your first line of defence. Be careful on auction sites On these sites in particular, says Symantec's Sian John, exercise vigilance.
Facebook regularly updates its timeline and privacy settings, so it is wise to monitor your profile, particularly if the design of Facebook has changed. Firstly, in the privacy settings menu, under "who can see my stuff? Also in privacy, setting "limit old posts" applies friends-only sharing to past as well as future posts.

Thirdly, disable the ability of other search engines to link to your timeline. You should also review the activity log, which shows your entire history of posts and allows you to check who can see them. Similarly, you should look at your photo albums and check you're happy with the sharing settings for each album. In the future you may want to consider building "lists" — subsets of friends, such as close friends and family, who you might want to share toddler photographs with, rather than every Tom, Dick and Harriet.
Also, remove your home address, phone number, date of birth and any other information that could used to fake your identity. Similarly you might want to delete or edit your "likes" and "groups" — the more hackers know about you, the more convincing a phishing email they can spam you with.

Facebook apps often share your data, so delete any you don't use or don't remember installing. Finally, use the "view as" tool to check what the public or even a particular individual can see on your profile, continue to "edit" and adjust to taste. If this all sounds rather tedious, you just might prefer to permanently delete your account. Remember you're human after all While much of the above are technical solutions to prevent you being hacked and scammed, hacking done well is really the skill of tricking human beings, not computers, by preying on their gullibility, taking advantage of our trust, greed or altruistic impulses.
Human error is still the most likely reason why you'll get hacked. This article contains affiliate links, which means we may earn a small commission if a reader clicks through and makes a purchase.
