How to Stay Safe/Secure in Digital Life V.2

This is the privacy practice(PP) guide for your online activities…

In the first part of this series, I talked about Privacy/Security general, kind of both on Mobile as well as Computer machines to give you kind of overview and listed few tools to help you(in getting start).

3. Using public wi-fi ( of course, you can use but with some measures )
