Staying Secure Online While Travelling: A Quick Guide

When you’re overseas, it’s easy to focus on flights, food and photos, but your online safety matters just as much. Here’s a simple, travel-friendly summary of the habits I use on every trip:

• Update your devices before you leave so you’re protected with the latest security fixes.
• Use strong authentication like biometrics or passkeys to keep your accounts safe.
• Be cautious with public Wi‑Fi and avoid doing anything sensitive on it.
• Turn off Bluetooth and AirDrop when you’re not using them.
• Check QR codes carefully and avoid scanning anything that feels off.
• Keep your devices close, physical access is the easiest way for someone to compromise them.
