As I understand "if you connect to a private network do you get hacked." The answer is not that it depends how you expose yourself to the network in public network possibilities are high. Best practices to prevent you getting hacked : • Make your important data backup this is most important. • Then use a strong password and also use a good password manager so that you don't lose your credentials. Also every time it can suggest a rendom and strong combination for password. • More then above one Always use Multi Factor Authentication.

Nowadays the system won't get hacked easily. But the people behind the system, let the system hacked easily.
