Phone on the beach
With summer on our doorstep it is important not only to focus on packing right and getting your flight in order but it is also vital to be aware of the travel scams seeming to offer free flights and smartphone pickpockets to name a few things that might catch you out.
Read through our simple guide to keep not only your skin safe this summer!
Choose your location carefully – Choosing a holiday is an exciting time but remember not to get swept up in sites offering free flights and emails about frequent flier miles. Always go to the official website, rather than going through emails and check out the trust seals before you commit to paying any money.
Protect your devices – Norton 360 Multi Device is the best way to protect your phone this summer. If your phone or tablet is lost or is stolen then you can locate the device and lock it to prevent anyone seeing your personal details and running up a bill on your accounts.
Be careful where you browse – If you are bored at the airport or lying by the pool it is tempting to make purchase as you would at home, however public Wi-Fi hotspots are the perfect breeding ground for cyber criminals to access your info, make sure your accounts are protected with a personal VPN such as Norton Hotspot Privacy if you are exchanging sensitive info.
Take a holiday from your devices – Try to leave your phone back at the hotel in the safe. Taking it out on trips or by the pool will only increase the likelihood that it will be lost, stolen or damaged.
Stay private – Be careful about what you post on social media sites, as its not only your mates who can see your posts but others too and they will soon catch on to the fact that your house is empty.
