Although our business is all about protecting people and the kinds of physical possessions (like cash, jewelry, and portable electronics) that are commonly taken during robberies, most of our customers have digital property that can be worth just as much. In fact, many would be as upset at losing personal photos, work projects, and important files as they would a television or diamond ring.
With that in mind, today we want to give you a handful of easy tips you can use to protect your digital valuables from thieves, regardless of whether they show up in your inbox or your front door…
• Use strong passwords and change them regularly. Cyber criminals like easy targets, so don’t be one.
• Protect your phone, tablet, and any laptop computers with strong passwords. That way if someone steals your device they can’t login to get access to your data.
• Backup your most important files to the cloud using a free or low-cost service. That way you can recover them if your physical devices are lost.
• Never keep your passwords or login info printed somewhere that a thief could easily discover it in your home.
• Do keep a printed list of phone numbers for your bank, as well as digital service providers, so you can quickly cancel accounts or end your service in the event of a theft.
