- | Open and free WiFi is good and well, but do not do any shopping on one. If you can, avoid using them all together. If you think of a gift at McDonalds, by all means, look it up, but do not enter any info into your browser. Make sure you have all the latest OS updates, and maybe invest in Clam AV. Do not let your device out of your sight, if you need to do something, lock it, as you never know when the cat will buy you that new BMW. If you are going to shop, make sure your browser uses SSL everywhere. If there is no SSL, don’t buy there. | + | Open and free WiFi is good and well, but do not do any shopping on one.

- | This brings me to another point, if it's too good to be true... it’s a scam. Look up any website you have never dealt with first. Something like hellopeter can also give you an idea of what you are dealing with. If you use a credit card, why not load up a virtual credit card first, before you buy? No matter what you may think, a cellphone is never safe, be sure to read your bank’s, or Apple’s, or whoever’s terms of service when it comes to the payment app. Some do not refund you if you get scammed. | + | J’ai écrit ce texte à l’origine pour « Black Friday », mais des circonstances ont voulu qu’il ne soit jamais parti.

This may seem like weird advice, but when you leave home, turn off bluetooth and WiFi on your phone. If you used the guest house’s WiFi, remove that network when you leave. I know you all are lazy, because I can prove it by checking your phone and finding tens of networks. Don’t just install apps for the kids to play with, I know it is tempting, but the less apps you have on your phone, the smaller the chance that one of them is malicious. Most people don’t know their phones are compromised. Even app store apps get compromised, | This may seem like weird advice, but when you leave home, turn off bluetooth and WiFi on your phone.

Créer une adresse mail différente pour votre dentiste, votre opticien, votre banque, etc. Gardez l’œil sur le résultat net pendant que vous faites des courses et cela peut également vous dire si quelqu’un s’est enfui avec une partie de votre argent durement gagné. |

+ | Ce conseil-ci peut paraître bizarre, mais quand vous quittez la maison, désactivez le bluetooth et le WiFi sur votre téléphone. Si vous avez utilisé le WiFi dans la maison de vos hôtes, enlevez le réseau quand vous partez. Je sais que vous êtes tous paresseux parce que je peux le démontrer en vérifiant votre téléphone et en trouvant des dizaines de réseaux. N’installez pas d’applis avec lesquelles les gosses peuvent jouer, bien que ce soit tentant, mais moins vous avez d’applis sur votre téléphone, | ||

+ | N’achetez rien sur un ordinateur qui est partagé par plusieurs personnes. Vous pouvez rechercher sur WebMD la raison pour laquelle vous voyez des tâches dans votre vision, mais n’y entrez jamais des informations ou des mots de passe. Même si vous avez une authentification à plusieurs facteurs, ne le faites pas. L’authentification à multiples facteurs signifie tout simplement que le criminel doit attendre pendant que vous saisissez les deux mots de passe. Ensuite, il pirate votre session. | ||

You may laugh, but it happens, never photograph or photocopy your credit card. Don’t let it lay on the table waiting for your waitress, or play with it while you wait, cameras are getting better by the day. The same goes for your identification documents. | You may laugh, but it happens, never photograph or photocopy your credit card.
