How to use public networks without risking your data
Protect your devices and use public networks safely to reduce the risk of fraud.
Author: Plata Pay Team
To protect yourself:
Enable screen lock with biometrics or a PIN.
Avoid devices with a modified operating system (jailbreak or root): these changes remove the manufacturer's protections.
Download apps only from official stores like the App Store or Google Play.
Keep your operating system and apps updated, including the Plata Pay app.
Change your Wi-Fi password often and avoid financial transactions on public or open networks.
If you connect to a public network, avoid entering sensitive data or making transfers.
Keep your device's security tools active, such as antivirus, firewall, or VPN, when available.
Do not connect unknown devices or accessories to your phone or computer.
