Is there anything worse than losing your wallet? Yes! Losing your smartphone!
Losing your wallet is a nightmare – but losing your smartphone can be downright dangerous! Smartphones are super convenient for handling your email, finances and social lives in the palm of your hand – and the amount of information on there is like hitting the jackpot for a thief. And if you check into places using your smartphone – evil doers can even follow you there hoping you’ll leave that gadget within their reach.
Passwords and phone locks aren’t always enough to protect you from professional hackers. Check your phone’s apps for remote wipe-out services. They automatically erase information on your phone as soon as you claim it lost or stolen.
