Back to school is right around the corner!! As we gear up for the new school year, here are a few helpful tips to help keep you and your family's tech devices safe and secure.
TURN IT OFF!!
Pokemon' Go is the latest game craze, but many popular and common apps make ease of access to your device and information stored on it. Always TURN-OFF your WIFI when its not in use. Hackers are known to access your device (and much more) by filtering through accessible WIFI connected devices.
CHANGE IT UP!
I know, its a hassle keeping up with all of your passwords but regularly changing your passwords help keep your device and the information stored on it safe.
HINT: Try using a favorite saying, quote or sentence as a password.
Always use a combination of letters, symbols and numbers.

CLEAN IT UP!
Check your devices settings and frequent your apps list. Be sure everything loaded on your phone, is what you want there! Hidden and often unwanted apps can install to your device if you aren't cautious of what you downloading to your device and the source of the download.
Wishing you a SAFE and PRODUCTIVE School Year!!
