While I\u2019m not one for setting unrealistic expectations of myself, there is something to be said about learning from the previous year so I do not repeat the same mistakes.<\/p>\n<p>As I look back on 2017, I can\u2019t help but think of all of the teachable moments in mobile and IoT security. From fraudsters <a href=\"https:\/\/securingtomorrow.mcafee.com\/consumer\/consumer-threat-notices\/cybercriminals-black-friday\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">phishing with social media<\/a> bait to <a href=\"https:\/\/securingtomorrow.mcafee.com\/consumer\/consumer-threat-notices\/starbucks-bitcoin-mining\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bitcoin mining<\/a> at your local coffee shop, this year was full of moments that remind us just how tricky our connected lives can be.<\/p>\n<p>So, in light of all the events in 2017, here are the top five \u201ccyber-resolutions\u201d to consider for 2018.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Secure your Social Media<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If there\u2019s one thing phishing scams have taught me, it\u2019s that scammers have gotten savvier at <a href=\"http:\/\/searchsecurity.techtarget.com\/definition\/social-engineering\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social engineering<\/a>. While social media does a great job at connecting us to our loved ones, it can also connect us to people we don\u2019t want to share our personal information with. Cybercriminals know how to use the information you share on social media to gain access to your personal data. I\u2019ve said it once and I\u2019ll say it again, always make sure your account is set to \u201cprivate\u201d and is only visible to family and friends.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Don\u2019t skip your updates <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>With the holidays in our rear-view, many of us probably have a few <a href=\"https:\/\/securingtomorrow.mcafee.com\/mcafee-labs\/iot-devices-gift-keeps-giving-hackers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">new devices<\/a> in our homes. There are so many new and exciting tech toys on the market, it\u2019s hard to avoid getting caught up in the IoT way of life. When you\u2019re interrupted from your shiny new device by a software update, it\u2019s tempting to hit \u201cskip\u201d when you\u2019re eager to get back to your gadgets. But if our <a href=\"https:\/\/securingtomorrow.mcafee.com\/consumer\/consumer-threat-notices\/most-hackable-gifts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hackable gifts<\/a> have shown us anything, it\u2019s that skipping your updates leaves the door open for hackers. Software updates are important because they often include critical patches to new bugs or flaws in the system. So, resolve to keep your software up to date!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Don\u2019t fall for the free Wi-Fi<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to public Wi-Fi, a VPN is a VIP. Access to the internet on the go is a privilege of the times. But while the Wi-Fi at your local coffee shop may\u00a0<em>claim<\/em>\u00a0to be secure, public Wi-Fi networks\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/securingtomorrow.mcafee.com\/consumer\/consumer-threat-notices\/need-watch-using-public-wi-fi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lack encryption<\/a>. If you\u2019re in the habit of using Wi-Fi on the go, get a VPN to scramble the data being sent over the network. Private online activity such as shopping or accessing your banking information without a VPN could expose your sensitive information to hackers. Investing in a VPN is a smart way to keep your private information, private.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Set Better Passwords<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>I can\u2019t stress enough that using a secure password is one of the best practices for protection on the web. When you\u2019re trying to keep up with all of your logins, it can be tempting to use the same simple combination for every account. But, choosing a solid password should always take priority. Mix it up, throw in some numbers and symbols to complicate the password, stay away from using your birthday, and remember <a href=\"https:\/\/securingtomorrow.mcafee.com\/consumer\/mobile-security\/password-checklist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u2018123456\u2019<\/a> is never an acceptable password!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Secure your home<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Our homes are more connected now than they\u2019ve ever been. It\u2019s important to make sure each individual device is secure. However, securing your connection at the source is as important as securing your front door. Consider using a home gateway with <a href=\"https:\/\/securehomeplatform.mcafee.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">built-in security<\/a> to ensure every device in your house is well protected.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s start the year off on the right foot. Don\u2019t give cybercriminals the upper hand when it comes to your personal data.<\/p>\n<p>Interested in learning more about mobile security tips and trends?
