How can I protect my iPad from hackers?

1. Make sure it has a passcode set up and make sure you use the passcode. Don't let people you wouldn't trust with your money, your credit cards, and your passport have access to it without supervision.
2. Make sure you have 2-Factor Authentication enabled on your Apple ID.
3. Don't jailbreak your iPad.
4. Keep your system software up to date.
