Here are some Mobile Security tips that can help protect you from fraud or any unwanted access to your mobile devices:

• Think before you open, reply to, or click on links or attachments in emails from any unknown source. And never give out your credit card or debit card information.
• Fingerprint requirements as well as passwords are essential to the security of your device. Do not share passwords with friends. However all parents should know the passwords to their childrens mobile devices.
• Always log out of banking and shopping sites that are open through your browser. And do not save passwords through your mobile apps.
