Your Tech Makeover

Going on vacation shouldn't mean leaving your digital security behind. From the hotel lobby computer to the resort Wi-Fi, there are real risks most travelers never think about until something goes wrong. This episode gives you a practical checklist you can run through before your next trip so you can relax without worrying about your accounts.
In this episode, you'll learn:
  • The real risk of using a shared hotel or airport computer, including a story about what can happen when you don't log out
  • How Incognito mode works and exactly what it does (and doesn't) protect you from
  • The right way to clear cookies, history, and saved logins on a shared computer
  • Why public Wi-Fi at hotels, airports, and coffee shops is riskier than you think
  • What a VPN is, how it works, and why you should set one up before you leave home
  • The pros and cons of different VPN services and how to choose one that fits your needs
A few small steps before you travel can make a big difference for your security while you're away.
