Secure your devices Before leaving for your trip, update your devices—including smartphones, laptops and tablets—with the latest security
about your travel plans in advance and avoid using a debit card, which offers less fraud protections compared to a credit card. Protect your personal information
features and antivirus software. Use strong passwords for your accounts, enable two-factor authentication, and avoid accessing sensitive information over unsecured public Wi-Fi networks. When traveling, being aware and prepared is the best way to avoid becoming a victim of fraud and travel scams. Practicing these and other safety tips will help reduce the risk, and give you the peace of mind that your next adventure is memorable and worry-free.
Be mindful of how and where you share personal information. Don’t discuss travel
plans in public where others may overhear, and avoid posting to your social media accounts while you’re on vacation. Establish a safe place for storing passports and travel insurance information, and consider using a virtual private network (VPN) on your devices rather than using Wi-Fi networks, which are often targeted by cybercriminals.
