Keep Rebooting Your Phone, It Apparently Helps Against Malware🤔

There's been a recent news online and it's from the NSA.

They recommend or advice that people should be turning off and on their smartphone regularly. They didn't say this because they want you to stay off your screen, it's actually a safety measure. It's a way for you to stay safe from certain types of malware.

It turns out that some of the malware don't keep coming and those kinds cannot survive a reboot. Infact I have rebooted my phone twice this morning just after reading it.

I'm not saying that rebooting will protect you from all threats because it won't but it's a very simple way to reduce the risk of having your phone infected with some virus.

I don't think I need to tell you to use strong passwords on all your accounts, if you're trying to lose your money then use some weak passwords. Some people use "Password" as their password, it's old style and can easily be hacked.

Also you should be updating your device regularly. I don't know about Apple updates because I don't use iPhones for obvious reasons, their innovation is down the drain right now. But with Android, I usually check at least once a month to see if Google has brought some new Android OS updates because the more updated the more secured your phone might be.

Some people don't care much about enabling two-factor authentication but it's good way to stay safe.

You can go and check online because the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, CISA for short, added more security tips not too long ago that'll protect your personal data and government information. I guess this is exclusive for US citizens maybe

The tips are basically some of things I just mentioned like using long passwords, updating your devices to fix problems and using extra security for all your accounts.

So now you know that rebooting helps with some threats but it's not the only thing to guarantee safety online. I hope this goes a long way to help someone that's why I shared it anyways.
