Digital arrest refers to being locked out of your online accounts or devices due to hacking, or unlawful access. 

Cybercriminals utilize weak passwords, phishing scams, or outdated software to take control of your digital assets. 

Digital arrest can lead to identity theft, financial losses, misuse of your personal information, or legal trouble. 

Use complex passwords with characters and update them regularly to reduce the risk of unauthorized access. 

Adding an extra layer of security ensures your accounts remain safe even if passwords are compromised. 

Avoid clicking on unknown and suspicious links or sharing sensitive information via unverified sources. 

Regularly update your devices and software to patch vulnerabilities that hackers may exploit. 

Avoid public Wi-Fi for sensitive transactions; opt for secure, encrypted connections whenever possible. 

Regularly back up your files and documents to protect against data loss due to digital arrest or ransomware attacks. 

Educate yourself about emerging cyber threats and adopt proactive measures to protect your digital presence.
