    Great information, but I'd also like to add a few words. A VPN can help protect your privacy from hackers, if you want to keep your conversations private check out https://clearvpn.com/blog/secret-conversation/ . This is accomplished by encrypting messages from your device, which prevents any intercepted messages from being read.
