Tech tip: Secure your mobile device

Your phone is a mini-computer. Whether you’re #teamiphone, #teamandroid, or anything in between, these simple tips will help keep your device secure.

1. Make sure your phone isn’t auto-connecting to random WiFi. It could be a hacker trying to scam you.
2. Always keep your phone in close proximity, and enable shorter lock screen times in case it gets too far away.
3. Pop-ups can be malicious. Exit out and close all applications.
4. Limit sensitive conversations via text.
5. Install only the apps you use, delete the rest, and only download from a trusted app store.
