The world is more connected than ever before, even when on vacation. If you’re traveling for business or pleasure, you’ll likely be taking a device, or two, or three with you. Learn how to keep your cell phone, laptop, tablet, and other devices, as well as the information stored on them, safe and secure with BBB’s cybersecurity tips for travelers.
BBB provides the following tips to stay secure while traveling: Only take what you need. Do you need your cellphone, tablet, and your laptop? Limit yourself to the bare necessities, remembering that any devices you take with you will need looking after.
Keep an eye on your stuff. Never leave your devices unattended or in the care of a stranger. If you need to leave them in your hotel room, consider locking them in a safe or in your luggage. If you need another latte while catching up on remote work at a local coffee shop, take your laptop to the counter instead of leaving it on the table. This will keep your information and device safe from prying eyes and thieves waiting for their next opportunity.
