12.09: Tips for the Holidays
Stay Safe While Traveling
Traveling during the holidays can increase your risk of cybercrime. Be cautious about sharing travel plans online—wait until you are home to post updates to social media. If you use public Wi-Fi, such as in airports or hotels, consider using a VPN and avoid accessing sensitive accounts, like banking or work email. Regularly monitor your financial accounts for suspicious activity. Remember, scammers are especially active during the holiday season, so slow down and stay vigilant to keep your data safe.
