Other cybersecurity threats happen much more regularly, and those dangers can be heightened during travel—from exposure via public wifi to “shoulder surfing,” when all a bad actor needs to do is peek at your screen to obtain your sensitive information. If you don’t already have login security set up, make sure access to your phone requires a passcode or facial recognition. Set up the Find My Device feature on anything you bring, which will let you find something that has been misplaced or delete everything if someone steals it.
