Devices like smartphones, tablets and PCs are getting more and more secure, but hackers are getting better at attacking them too.

So if you've just bought a new or second hand device, or haven't looked at your security settings for a while, you should take some time to make sure you're protected against the latest threats. Fortunately, most manufacturers provide easy-to-use guidance on how to secure your devices.

You can also check to see if your device is still supported with the Which? device support checker tool.

We've provided some links to their advice below.

We recommend you take some time to go through these guides* every few months, or when you get a new device, to make sure you're protected.
