1. 'Cyber Security Checklist' by Techno-Legal
Services for your next Business Trip

2. Cyber frauds in India are on the rise and they can pose a serious threat on your short
business trips when your mobile phone or desktops are connected to other
networks or while working remotely on a cloud. The frauds can cost the loss of your
valuable confidential data.
So, it's imperative to follow a checklist by techno-legal services to save yourself from
cyber frauds in India.
Cyber Security Checklist for Entrepreneurs
1. Say No to Debit Cards
During business trips, it would be advisable to make purchases from your credit card
as they won't hold you responsible for fraudulent charges. Credit card fraud rules are
quite direct while debit card rules are complex.
Moreover, debit cards give you cash or travel rewards that can be used during your
business stay.
2. Refrain from being ‘hacked’ using public Wi-Fi
Using the public ‘free’ Wi-Fi at airports, railway stations or internet cafes etc. can be
convenient but it also makes you vulnerable to cyber frauds. Avoid using
unencrypted Wi-Fi and in case you can’t stop yourself, please don't access personal
account or sensitive data as hackers use an open network to steal your data.
3. Beware of these ‘fake’ public charging stations
During instances of an unplanned business trip, it may occur that you missed
charging your phone. In such cases, you might need to use the public charging
stations available at the airports or railway stations. The convenient looking
e-charging stations can infect your device with malware and steal all your
credentials.

3. This cyber-attack is also known as ‘juice hacking’ and can hinder your devices
through charging ports and cables.
Invest in a portable data blocking adapter and a portable charger. Always use an
electrical outlet rather than the USB port at charging stations.
4. Don’t fall for ‘shoulder surfing’ attacks
Visual hacking is common in public places wherein the hacker is close enough to
look into your keyboard till he gets an idea about the characters used in your
password and may hack by using a brute-force attack to crack your password. The
Global Visual Experimental Study says that 9 out of 10 attempts were successful
through visual means.
So, the next time when you are accessing company files and putting financial
information, there may be a hacker somewhere around to memorize it and milk your
account dry.
Stay alert to prevent yourself from cyber frauds in India!
5. Your ‘home’ checklist
When you are packing your stuff, make sure you pack your devices with all necessary
safety measures:
➔ Instead of ‘auto-connect’ option, opt for manually connecting your devices to
the web.
➔ Leave an auto-reply message so that hackers don't take advantage of your
absence.
➔ Encrypt your data.
➔ Install updates, update anti-virus and anti-spyware.
➔ Increase the strength of your password by making it along with special
characters.
➔ Use 2-step authentication.
