Got a smartphone? I hope you've got phone smarts to go along with it.
Smartphones can help you do a whole lot of things. From writing reminders to yourself to email to doing your banking to shopping online and even paying bills, smartphone users are putting a lot of personal data out there all the time. You can even take a photo of a check with your smartphone and instantly deposit that check into your account!
All that is great, and certainly super-convenient. But if your smartphone is lost or stolen, you've put access to an awful lot of personal information in the hands of a stranger. Even if you're good about using secure (and frequently-changed) passwords, thieves can still wreak havoc with your personal or business contacts, and possibly your social-network accounts as well.
Be phone smart! Log out of your accounts when you're done using them. Don't make heavy bank transactions on your smartphone. Use secure passwords and change them often. And never accept the option to save your username and password.
