Maybe you\u2019re taking in an out-of-town concert, vacationing with the family or just getting away because it\u2019s\u2026 summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whatever\u2019s on your itinerary, a good trip takes a bit of planning. During the busy summer season, the trips that go smoothly tend to be the ones where the flights, accommodations and essentials are sorted out ahead of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same goes for your cyber safety. Knowing what to do, and what not to do, can keep your data and privacy protected while you\u2019re away. Before you pack your bags, here are the do\u2019s and don\u2019ts worth adding to your list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-why-cyber-security-matters-when-you-travel\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why cyber security matters when you travel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Travel has a way of lowering our guard. We\u2019re in unfamiliar places, juggling boarding passes and bookings, hopping onto whatever Wi-Fi is handy and pairing our phones with rental cars and hotel systems. That mix of distraction, public networks and unfamiliar connections is the kind of opening scammers look for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, what are they after? In most cases, it comes down to your money and your personal information \u2013 and here\u2019s what they can do with it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-rbc-list is-style-blue-disc\">\r\n    <li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\"><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Intercepted logins or card details can lead to unauthorized charges or compromised accounts.<\/p><\/li>\r\n    <li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\"><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Personal information in the wrong hands can be used to open accounts or impersonate you.<\/p><\/li>\r\n    <li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\"><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Broadcasting your real-time location or an empty home can put your belongings at risk.<\/p><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-common-travel-traps\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common travel traps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You don\u2019t need to be a security expert to stay safe, but it helps to know what some of the more common tricks look like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-rbc-list is-style-blue-disc\">\r\n    <li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\"><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tampered USB charging stations<\/strong>: Those charging ports you find at airport gates and in hotel lobbies can be tampered with to install malware or copy data from devices that plug in. The cable that looks so convenient when your battery is at 4% may not be as innocent as it seems.<\/p><\/li>\r\n    <li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\"><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Fake public Wi-Fi<\/strong>: Scammers set up fake hotspots with names that look very close to the real thing \u2013 like \u201cAirport_Free_WiFi\u201d or a look-alike of your hotel\u2019s network. If you connect to one, the person who set it up can potentially see what you\u2019re doing online.<\/p><\/li>\r\n    <li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\"><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Lost or stolen devices<\/strong>: In busy airports, train stations and tourist spots, an unattended phone or laptop is an easy target. If it isn\u2019t locked, whoever picks it up may be able to access the accounts and apps you\u2019re still signed in to.<\/p><\/li>\r\n    <li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\"><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Travel-themed phishing<\/strong>: During busy travel times, fraudsters send fake booking confirmations, refund offers and delay notices designed to look urgent. A tap on the wrong link can hand over password or payment credentials before you\u2019ve had a chance to think twice.<\/p><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-10-travel-cyber-safety-do-s-and-don-ts\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">10 travel cyber safety do\u2019s and don\u2019ts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The good news is that a little awareness goes a long way.

Setting one up is straightforward: choose a reputable provider (a quick search will show you a range of options), download their app to your phone or laptop, create an account and switch it on. Once it\u2019s running, you can leave it on whenever you\u2019re connected to a network you don\u2019t fully trust.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-rbc-rbc-collapsible-panel\"><div class=\"accordion-panel\"><button id=\"accordion-titledb4e581b\" class=\"collapse-toggle collapsed\" data-target=\"#accordiondb4e581b\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordionSet1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" data-dig-id=\"LP-98340-db4e581b\" aria-controls=\"accordiondb4e581b\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"collapsible closed\" data-dig-label=\"Is it safe to charge my phone at a public charging station?\" action-closed=\"collapsible closed\" action-opened=\"collapsible open\"><div>Is it safe to charge my phone at a public charging station?<\/div><\/button><div class=\"collapse-content collapse\" id=\"accordiondb4e581b\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-titledb4e581b\"><div class=\"collapse-inner\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s best to be cautious. Public USB charging ports can be tampered with to install malware or pull data from a connected device, so they\u2019re not always as safe as they look. The simplest way around it is to bring your own gear \u2013 a wall charger that plugs into a regular outlet, plus a portable power bank when you\u2019re away from one. If you do need to use a public USB port, a USB data blocker is an inexpensive accessory that lets you power up while blocking any data transfer.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-rbc-rbc-collapsible-panel\"><div class=\"accordion-panel\"><button id=\"accordion-title3c1b6467\" class=\"collapse-toggle collapsed\" data-target=\"#accordion3c1b6467\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordionSet1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" data-dig-id=\"LP-98340-3c1b6467\" aria-controls=\"accordion3c1b6467\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"collapsible closed\" data-dig-label=\"What should I do if I think my information was compromised while travelling?\" action-closed=\"collapsible closed\" action-opened=\"collapsible open\"><div>What should I do if I think my information was compromised while travelling?<\/div><\/button><div class=\"collapse-content collapse\" id=\"accordion3c1b6467\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-title3c1b6467\"><div class=\"collapse-inner\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s best to act quickly.
