Keeping your device’s software up to date is another crucial step in safeguarding against potential cyber threats.
Baryaktar said: “Regular updates ensure that your phone has the latest security patches and bug fixes, making it harder for cybercriminals to exploit vulnerabilities.”
While charging stations are a risk, public Wi-Fi networks, such as those commonly available in airports, can also expose you to cyber threats.
Baryaktar advises limiting your internet activity on unsecured networks to casual browsing and avoiding activities that involve personal accounts or financial transactions.
He advised: “For added protection, using a virtual private network (VPN) can help encrypt your internet traffic and protect your data from prying eyes.
“By taking these precautions, you can ensure a safer travel experience and protect your personal information from cyber threats.
“Being mindful of your device’s security not only helps you avoid data breaches but also allows you to focus on enjoying your journey with peace of mind.”
