Not Taking Physical Security Into Account

There are devices out there that, when plugged into a computer’s USB port, can extract information or download malware in just a few seconds. Your device’s physical security is often overlooked, but arguably just as important as digital security.

1. Don’t leave your laptop or phones unattended when in public places.
2. Make sure all of your devices have a password or passcode protecting them.
3. And be aware that, with just a few seconds of physical access, an attacker could very well do some damage.
