A new report suggests Mac users will need to be more vigilant this year because AI advancements are helping hackers breach even the most secure systems.

Mac malware is evolving, and experts now believe this will only get worse.

Phishing attacks on Android have reached staggering levels, with thousands of malicious apps designed to steal credentials.

A password manager can be incredibly helpful here.

It generates and stores complex passwords for you, making them difficult for hackers to crack.

It also keeps track of all your passwords in one place and automatically fills them in when you log into accounts.

Use two -factor authentication for your important accounts, including your Apple ID, Google account, email and any financial services.
