You have probably given advice to the vulnerable young and older people (as well as to self-declared "technotwits") about technology in the coming year. What are your top 5 tips for the coming year? I'm advising: * Do upgrade any device that doesn't receive OS updates (mobile devices are a particular concern) * On mobile, do use an encrypted chat app (e.g. Messages with RCS, Signal, &c) * Don't use identifying information as a password and don't re-use passwords * Don't answer phone calls from unknown sources * End any communication where someone asks you to do something insecure (e.g. "give me your password so I can check your account")
