Plan For Fun — Not For Fraud!
What's the point of a perfect itinerary if your password or credit card information get stolen during your island vacation?
Consider the following tips to make sure trips are scam-free.
If You Wouldn't Tell Someone About It...
Don't do it on Wi-Fi! Refrain from accessing sensitive financial info or other personal data while on untrusted Wi-Fi.
Stick To Cellular Data
Don't rely on free, unsecured networks you don't trust.
You don't know who's watching!
Just use cellular data, use your phone as a hotspot, or consider buying a mobile hotspot.
Don't Plug In!
Need to charge your phone? Be wary of charging ports in public, high traffic places.
Hackers can alter these outlets to get into your devices when you plug in.
Bring a mobile battery pack or bring a separate charger to plug into the outlet instead of directly using a lightning or USB cable.
Have You Enabled MFA Yet?
What are you waiting for!
You should able MFA for all your apps and accounts.
It adds an extra layer of security in case your password is ever compromised.
