To keep protocols safe you should put a password on ALL your accounts. The password should be quite complicated to guess and you shouldn't tell anyone. This should hopefully prevent your accounts from being hacked. However, this does not always protect your accounts. You should also change your password every couple of weeks to ensure nobody can guess it or hacks into your account.  Make sure when you close a window, for example your emails, make sure to log out! Bluetooth can be quite easy to hack as the code is easy to read. Wi-Fi  is protected by W.A.P which means it is harder to hack unless you have a password. However if your Wi-Fi is "open" this is not the case as it is easier to hack. Encryption can be used to protect data because it scrambles data. So, if your data was hacked, the person who hacked your account wouldn't be able to see it anyway.
