Don't let your phone get stolen! And what if your phone does get stolen?
I sent an email out to friends and concerned citizens about a new Thai Law that is being presented that would require all Foreigners (of which I am one) to have a Sim in their phone with which the government could track their whereabouts. Read More.
And we all know about the FBI pressuring Apple to unlock the iPhone of a gunman last year.
Are these types of things an infringement on our personal privacy? Maybe so. But there are more important risks to your security as it relates to your mobile devices. Do you know how much information would be compromised through hacking you Mobile Phone?
Here are seven crucial steps you should take with your phone to make sure it -- and your personal information -- is safe from thieves, malware and other hazards.
1. Don't let your phone get stolen!
Sound obvious, but there were 2.1 Million Cell Phone reported stolen last year. There are steps you can take to lower the risk of your phone being stolen.
A. Get a case. This not only protects your phone from breaks cracks and scratches it makes the brand and model less obvious. And don't get a case that is pure bling bling sporting design styles. That will just be saying out loud - Steal Me.
B. Clutch that Phone. When in public places like buses, sidewalks, and subways keep your phone put away, if possible. But we all know that this ittle device is our music, our entertainment, our work and our distraction. So if you have it out, Clutch it. Don't let it dangle out there like bait for a thief, dancing on your finger tips. Hold Tight and that alone will deter many people. And try not to be completely absorbed, you may walk straight into a light pole and when you wake up, your phone is gone.
C. The art of Distraction. Don't draw attention to your phone. Posture yourself to protect your phone. Look cautious.
D. Make your Phone Hard to get. Carry it in your front pocket, or neatly secured in your purse zipped closed. Don't carry it in a Jacket pocket. A thieving hand will enter and never be felt. If you feel your phone, that is a good thing. Not in a back pocket of your jeans hanging half way out.
And what if your phone does get stolen?
1. Report it to your Carrier so that they can blacklist your device.
2. Activate and tracking capabilities or Device Management Features on the Phone. (More on this)
3. Tell local police.
Once stolen a deluge of personal information may be in the hands of the bad guys. Protect your identity with full household 24 hour protection for pennies a day, it is worth it.
Keep Safe,
