The National Security Agency (NSA) is advising Americans to reboot their phones at least once a week to protect against cyber-attacks. The agency explains that regularly restarting mobile devices can disrupt hacking attempts by clearing temporary data, forcing malicious code out of memory, and giving users a fresh start with their phone’s security processes. This simple, routine action is seen as an effective way to safeguard personal data against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.

Since smartphones store personal information and are often targeted by cyber attacks, regularly rebooting adds an extra layer of security to protect your data.
