Ensure smartphones (especially Android) are protected with Anti Virus / Anti Phishing security software #EightCyberSecurityTips

Ensure smartphones (especially Android) are protected with Anti Virus / Anti Phishing security software (tip 4 of 8, in no specific order) #EightCyberSecurityTips

We all use smartphones every day. But a lot of that use isn’t for making phone calls. They are more like pocket computers than telephones. Some people use their phone more than their laptop to run their business (or their personal life).

We all think about having decent anti virus on our laptops, but we rarely think about protecting our mobile phones.

Recently, a lot of hacks and breaches start via a Phishing attack.   And often we open that Phishing email, SMS message, or WhatsApp message on our phones, rather than our laptop or desktop computers.

My advice is to get some decent Anti Virus and Anti Phishing software installed on your smartphone, before it’s too late.

Contact me if you need any advice on this.

A tip from Adrian

 I picked up a brilliant tip on Tuesday from Adrian Croft.

Do you ever visit a web page and then find it's difficult to read due to popups, banners, adverts, and even slide over overlays? I know I do. I was chatting about this with Adrian.

Adrian: "why not use twelve foot".
Me: "twelve what?"

He then explained. 12ft dot io is a website that "cleans up" web pages and makes them easier to read. You copy the website URL, go to 12 ft, and paste in that url.

And voila, a nice, clear, easy to read web page.

Thank you Adrian.

Give it a try.
