Detailed explanation-1: -Don’t download plugins to view pictures, videos, music and other content online without verifying their legitimacy. These often contain malware. Don’t download unknown software or files. Be especially cautious about free software offered online or via email.
Detailed explanation-2: -Multiple threats may happen when you visit an unsecure website. Your personal information may be at risk or hackers can install malicious software on your device. Likewise, you might become a victim of a phishing attack, or others may track your behavior or consume your resources in their favor.
