He gave the following 6 tips: (1) Don’t trust the security on a network you do not control such as those provided free at hotels, cafés and airports; (2) Use your own adapter for charging your phone not cords supplied by charging stations; (3) Don’t plug unknown flash drives into computer and use your own security software to scan USB devices before allowing them on your system; (4) Don’t open any link or attachments in messages sent to you that you did not initiate even if it is from someone that you know since a sender can easily be spoofed; (5) use a unique password for each site and a password manager to keep them straight; and (6) Use a two-step authentication for all financial accounts since the second step will stop the hack.
