Travel smart with your technology this summer:

1. Update Devices Before You Leave 📲

You’ve checked into your hotel and now THREE Wi-Fi networks pop up:​

📶 Hotel_Guest_WiFi​
📶 HotelGuest_WiFi​
📶 Hotel_Free_WiFi​

​Which one do you connect to?​

Tip: Always be cautious with “Free Wi-Fi” networks - they’re often unsecured and can be a hacker’s playground. Stick to official, password-protected networks provided by the hotel (ask the front desk to confirm the correct one).​

Bonus Tip:​
Use a VPN when using public Wi-Fi to keep your data and passwords safe from prying eyes.​​
