secure online shopping in Singapore - use a VPN
to end online security risks, one of the best tools buyers in Singapore (or elsewhere) can use to protect their personal data on their smartphone or tablet to get into the wrong hands is to use a virtual private network (VPN). A VPN adds a strong security layer to your device, especially when using Wi-Fi to buy goods online. Indeed, the Wi-Fi provides no encryption security, which makes it very easy for cyber criminals and attackers (or even a schoolgirl 7 years) to quickly hack into your machine and steal your valuable personal information. Using a VPN on your smartphone, tablet or PC stops them dead in their tracks, because a VPN encrypts all your data on the Internet, so they will not be able to decrypt the data on your phone.
