Part 6/7:
Utilize App-Based Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Instead of relying on SMS for confirmation codes, use apps like Google Authenticator which are significantly more secure.
Monitor Your Phone: Be vigilant about any unusual behavior, such as sudden loss of service. Act swiftly if your phone shows "SOS."
Limit Shared Information: Be cautious about what you post on social media. Even seemingly innocent details can provide hackers with valuable insights into your life.
Enhance Banking Security: Ask your financial institution if they offer a mobile banking app that requires direct approval for transactions rather than relying on text authentication.
