Hello,

I am new to this and looking around for help.I have a mobile and as I have no broadband at home, I have a quite large mobile data allowance of 20gb.

I tether my phone to an old xp laptop occasionally, and I'm wondering about security.

The first time I paired both, I had to give the laptop the code that was stated on the mobile hotspot connect page, and now it automatically connects.
Should I be concerned about security, and if so, what steps can I take to make sure my connection is secure from others? Please help me out.
I went through many resources and also checked Mobile Security Video examples but did not find any solution for this issues.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you.
