While many view a vacation as an opportunity to leave their cares behind, travelers must also be sure to follow basic safety procedures. In addition to physical safety, travelers using computers or mobile devices should be aware of cybersecurity risks that could affect them and understand the best practices for minimizing potential threats.
Public WiFi networks, for example, can make the information on your computer vulnerable to hackers using keylogger programs or other spyware used to fraudulently obtain passwords and other confidential information. Instead, you may want to utilize a virtual private network (VPN). A VPN service protects your personal information by concealing your Internet connection and any data that transfers between you and the host.
In addition to network security, your device or computer should also be protected with its own safety measures. Enabling a password to ensure your device remains locked in the event that it’s lost or stolen, can help keep your private information out of the wrong hands. You may also want to turn on your mobile device’s locator application (such as Google’s Find My Device or Apple’s Find My iPhone) to help you find it, should it be misplaced.
Knowing how you'll protect yourself and family from potential risks ahead of your trip will ensure a worry-free and memorable getaway...Club-Newport style!
