JAKARTA - Cyber crime has become a 'ghost' of the world community, including Indonesian citizens who often experience personal data leaks.

The threat of cyber crime certainly attracts the interest of many people around the world who generally have smartphones to find out how to prevent or counteract it.

This is in line with Kaspersky's research on the Privacy Checker site. Kaspersky reports that 85 percent of those who visit the site want to know how to set privacy on Android to prevent cybercrime.

The research compiled by Kaspersky is from active users of Privacy Checker, a security information site for various digital platforms and applications.

Kaspersky then prepared a short list that Android users can apply to help protect their personal information.

Here are the tips from Kaspersky:

1. Security solutions often have private browsing features, which can help avoid internet tracking.

2. Review permissions for mobile apps and browser extensions. It's best to avoid installing browser extensions unless you really need them. Carefully check the permissions you give.

3. Public storage is not the best place to store personal information, such as passport scans or password lists. A better option is to store it in an encrypted archive.

4. Updating the operating system and applications is noteworthy when updates are available. Many security issues can be solved by installing an updated version of the software.

5. Try to avoid uploading detailed personal data, such as address, phone number, email address, and other personal data.

Before sharing anything, it's a good idea to consider whether there are consequences, and don't share anything that could compromise your privacy or that of others.
