Mobile device safety tip: Be Web Wise

Be Web Wise.
Stay informed of the latest updates on your device. Know what to do if something goes wrong.

 Stay current. Keep pace with new ways to stay safe online. Check trusted websites for the latest information, and share with friends, family, and colleagues and encourage them to be web wise.

 Know how to cell block others. Using caller ID, you can block all incoming calls or block individual names and numbers.
 Use caution when meeting face‐to‐face with someone who you only "know" through text messaging.

Mobile device safety tip: Connect with Care

Use common sense when you connect. If you’re online through an unsecured or unprotected network, be cautious about the sites you visit and the information you release.


 Get savvy about Wi‐Fi hotspots: Limit the type of business you conduct and adjust the security settings on your device to limit who can access your phone.

 Protect your $$: When banking and shopping, check to be sure the sites is security enabled. Look for web addresses with "https://" or "shttp://", which means the site takes extra measures to help secure your information. "Http://" is not secure.

 When in doubt, don’t respond. Fraudulent texting, calling and voicemails are on the rise. Just like email, requests for personal information or to immediate action are almost always a scam.
