Cyber criminals are always looking for ways to rip you off – even while traveling.
Syracuse University is offering up some ways to improve your cyber security while on the road.
Here’s how to do it:
- Create strong passwords with a combination of numbers, letters, and special characters.
- Use secure networks and personal hotspots instead of public Wi-Fi.
- Pay with cash instead of credit.
- Use an encrypted hard drive.
- Disable Bluetooth and near field communication.
- Avoid public charging stations because potential tampering makes them vulnerable to attack.
- Keep your data safe by enabling two-factor authentication.
