STOP: Whether you use your smartphone to find time-fillers on the internet or save time and energy by shopping and banking online, there’s always a door open to malware and hackers. They could steal your personal data and use it to their benefit.

THINK: If you’re not aware of the potential dangers, you are more exposed to inappropriate videos, photos and even chats with ill-intended strangers via smartphones. Also, the fancier phones get, the bigger the temptation to steal them.

CONNECT: In other words, the precious information you carry around with you is increasingly vulnerable to being misused by strangers. How to counter all these threats? By educating yourself about Mobile Device Security.

The best piece of advice is to treat your mobile device like your wallet. Protect it, look after it, and try not to keep all your valuable personal information in one place.
