Tatil güvenliği ve gizlilik ipuçları

It’s that time for end year vacations and holidays. This means you have a lot of time to travel, get to be with your friends and family, interact with new cultures and get away from a lot of things.  But as you plan your vacation, don’t forget to also plan on how to deal with cybercriminals. This is their time to reap off unsuspecting individuals. Since we take care of our readers, we will outline some of the best cybersecurity practices to follow before, while you are on the go and after the vacation.

Tatilinize başlamadan önce:

• Back up and update your devices – If you are planning to carry most of your devices, start with backing up your data. You will never know when a disaster hits or you might misplace them during your vacation. Also, ensure you have set the Find My Device feature on your devices to avoid inconveniences. After a backup, you should consider updating your devices, that’s, the whole system, apps and ensure the antivirus has the latest security definitions
• Secure your accounts – Ensure all your accounts are protected with strong, unique passwords, and two-factor authentication is enabled.

Tatildeyken:

• Subscribe to a VPN (IPBurger VPN) – IPBurger VPN will ensure that you are always protected against all sorts of online threats concerning security and privacy. No prying eyes will snoop on your data because IPBurger VPN uses military-grade AES-256 encryption to ensure it reaches its destination safely. Also, IPBurger will help you gain access and unblock content that you might not be able to access due to geo-restrictions. Using various server locations, IPBurger can mask your real IP address and help you bypass the restrictions.
• Avoid Public WIFI – While on vacations, you will spot several premises with a free Wi-Fi banner. To save on costs, you are likely to connect to it. This might expose you to a world of cyber criminals waiting to steal your files, identity and even drop some malware. If at all you can’t avoid public WIFI, use them with IPBurger VPN. Also, ensure all file-sharing services are turned off.
• Ne paylaştığınızı kontrol edin - Tatilinizin ne kadar iyi gittiğini tüm dünyaya duyurmak isteyebilirsiniz. Buna genellikle çeşitli sosyal medya sitelerinde yayınlanan tonlarca selfie eşlik eder. Dünyaya hangi ayrıntıları ifşa edebileceğiniz konusunda dikkatli olun; selfie'ler bir güvenlik riskidir. Unutmayın, siber suçlular bile izliyor.
• Halka açık bilgisayarlardan kaçının - Halka açık Wi-Fi'ye benzer şekilde, halka açık bilgisayarlar da gerçekleşmeyi bekleyen sayısız güvenlik ve gizlilik riskine sahiptir. Mecbur kalırsanız, gizli ve hassas bilgilere erişmek için kullanmayın, gizli modu kullanın ve son olarak flash bellek kullanmayın.

Tatilden sonra:

• Cihazlarınızı tarayın - Eve döndüğünüzde, daha önce yedeklediğiniz bazı verileri geri yüklemek isteyebilirsiniz. Ancak bunu yapmadan önce cihazlarınızı taramalı ya da daha iyisi temizlemelisiniz. Tatiliniz sırasında ne tür kötü amaçlı yazılımlar kapmış olabileceğinizi bilmiyor olabilirsiniz.
• Continue using a VPN – You might have found some favorite web pages or content while on your vacation. Back home, it may be no surprise that they are blocked. To gain access to them, simply use IPBurger VPN and select the location of your vacation. You will then be able to access your content.
