Using security software is recommended for any device where you check your email or go online. Set the software to automatic updates to neutralize any new threats.
Make sure all your accounts use multi-factor authentication and/or change passwords often. The extra security of having two-or-more credentials to enable login is a bonus for security.
It isn’t that difficult for a hacker to obtain a generic password. It’s a lot tougher for them to hack multifactor authentications. And it’s almost impossible for them to access fingerprint, face, or eye scan authentication.
The spam filters in your email can keep some of those phishing emails out of your inbox. But scammers are more sophisticated these days, so add extra layers to your cybersecurity to protect yourself from phishing scams.
