Excellent post. I personally use a random password generator for my accounts, and regularly change them, but there are some things I could do to protect myself a little better. Although this is not new information to someone like myself, it's nice to have a reminder every now and then to perform a self analysis of "how safe am I?" thanks for this. I would love to see some light shed on how users confined to Android or IOS can fully protect themselves. I'm a Linux user through and through, and have no protection issues with sudo power, but I recently fried my cpu mining, so now I'm forced to perform 100 percent of my online computing on an android tablet. This presents a host for difficulties and slow downs for a power user, and having a minimal understanding of programming, I'm limited to what I'm able to understand and employ though an unrooted environment. If you've shed any light on this topic or plan to, your efforts will not go under appreciated. Thanks again.

That's a good one. I'm a power user in the windows family (windows, windows server, microsoft SQL, ...) but not as familiar with android.
For myself I try to apply the same behavior rules. Don't open suspicious mails, check the comments if you install an app from the appstore, install latest security updates if your manufacturer supplies any or consider a custom ROM if you device is not supported anymore, don't root your android device and install a (free) anti-malware suite.
I usually practice all of these safety tips, but I must say, rooting is very tempting for sure. I have one rooted device that I tinker with at times, but the risk seems to outweigh the rewards.
