We need to take measures to protect our devices, especially our laptops that hold such personal and vulnerable information, in case something happens that is out of our control. Angeline’s iPhone was stolen last year, despite her best efforts. Now, as safe as I am with my laptop, things happen. I’ve learned a lot of security measures through plain old common sense but his guidance has also helped me keep my valuables safe over the years, especially considering how much I travel! There’s a reason why I scored well: my husband works in IT. Of course, I scored pretty well on this quiz and that’s probably why I have never had a device – let alone my beloved laptop – stolen or lost.
Even a password-protected login screen might not be enough! Take this How Secure is Your Laptop quiz to figure out how safe your laptop really is – you might be surprised! Have you ever thought about the security of your laptop? I know that we all think because we keep our laptop at home, our of sight, in our laptop bag, etc, that it’s safe. I really want to talk about laptops today because while many people use their smartphones daily for things like social media and emails, everyone uses their laptops for the serious stuff like banking, paying the bills and handling really sensitive information – like doing our taxes or even just storing copies of our tax returns.
As you may be aware by now, Absolute LoJack has dubbed August Device Theft Awareness Month, and I’ve been sharing tidbits of information about the security of your smartphone and other devices throughout the month.
