It is not just your identity that will be kept safe, but also your MacBoook, MacBook accessories and other gadgets.

  1. RESET ALL YOUR CREDENTIALS AND UPDATE YOUR ACCOUNT DETAILS AFTER THE TRIP

This will protect you and your information from hackers you have just met and might have stolen your data during your trip. That is why resetting all your credential and updating your account details after your adventure is a very crucial thing do. You can do this by calling or sending an email to the company’s IT support staff and asking them to reset these information for you. Or you can just do that manually by visiting the company’s website and follow the instructions in updating your details.

DON’TS

  1. DO NOT ENTER YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION THROUGH PUBLIC COMPUTERS

Public computers are usually poorly managed. Since that is the case, users are not given maximum protection. This is the reason why entering personal data through these computers are not advisable. You can still use these public computers though, but just remember to follow this tip no matter what. Or else, some hackers can get their hands on your data and use it for their personal interests.

  1. DO NOT CONNECT TO UNKNOWN WIFI NETWORKS.

There are several WIFI networks you will meet during your travel. Most of them are unfortunately from unknown source. It might be tempting to connect to these networks especially if you are pretty excited to share the details of your adventure to your social media. But don’t get caught in this bait. Some of these networks are owned by thieves and are just looking for victims. Before connecting to a network, make sure that the network is from a known source or else you might get caught in a dilemma where your details are already transmitted and stolen through that network.

No matter what part of the planet you will travel, it is really important to keep yourself safe. Follow these tips so you won’t be a victim. Be alert and always ready. Have a safe and fun adventure.
