Naughty Apps!:
Limit the type of business you conduct and
adjust the security settings on your device
to limit who can access your phone.6
When banking and shopping, check to be
sure the site is security enabled. Look for
web addresses with "https://" or "shttp://,"
which means the site secures your
information. "Http://" is not secure.6
Use a screen lock, back up data, and install
an app to locate a missing phone and
remotely erase data from it.7
When in doubt, don't respond:
Fradulent texting, calling and voicemails are
on the rise. Just like email, requests for
personal information or for immediate
action are almost always a scam.6
Beware of legit-looking, but potentially
malicious shopping apps from dubious
sources. Only download apps signed by
reputable retailers.
