 By default, your VO account is guarded by the [[faq:network_and_security:what_is_sap|Suspicious Access Prevention (SAP)]] setting, where by your account access is only open to the countries that are listed in your SAP's setting. \\
 You can turn off this feature from your Profile settings. However, we **strongly recommend not to disable** this feature as it helps to prevent unauthorized user (from other countries) from accessing your VO account.

+==== Avoid Using Public Wi-Fi ====
+Hackers often set up fake hotspot that tricks others into connecting to the network for free. This enable them to intercept and access to the victim's personal information, such as emails, passwords, credit card information, bank account details, and more.\\
+Hackers can also use an unsecured Wi-Fi connection to distribute malware. If you allow file sharing across a network, they can easily plant infected software on your computer.\\
+If you really need Internet connection while travelling or away from home, it is best to use your own private network, such as the hotspot from your smartphone.
