【题目】 Protect Personal Information During Shopping SeasonsU.S. customers are worried about their personal ID information during the holiday season, according to a research by Discover. Here are some simple tips to protect your personal information.
Be aware of surroundings. The Identity Theft Resource Center says 43%of identity theft comes from a stolen wallet, credit card, or other things. During the crowded holiday shopping, keep an eye on your bags and pockets and always pay attention to what's happening around you.
Be careful of unsafe Wi-Fi networks. If you use a free network in the coffee shop, other users on the network can get what you see and what you send. Then, most of your personal information will be caught by others. Experts suggest using a virtual private network (VPN) instead of the public networks and try to change the settings on your mobile device so it can't connect to nearby public Wi-Fi without your permission(许可).
Please think carefully about providing your information. Mobile shopping Apps are convenient, but they can store your name, address, phone number, email, and other personal information. Look for Apps that can clearly show you about how they keep your data safe. Never provide secret information tied to your identity, like your Social Security num ber or bank account number.
