I lost my phone only once. It was way back in the early 90’s when a cell phone was not a requirement and certainly before your whole life was kept in the memory of the blasted thing. Still, I have been ridiculous when it comes to protecting my phone. In December when I decided to upgrade to an Android, I became utterly paranoid. Knowing what I know about criminal hackers, identity theft and my propensity for dropping/spilling my favorite devices in water… Well, I was sure I was going to use this phone for the bare minimum.
My friends and family thought I was being ridiculous. “There are a lot of cool apps”and “but this is a cool phone!” was all I heard. Until you lose a smart phone in a taxi cab (JH!) or have your life, um, I mean your purse stolen you aren’t going to get my paranoia.
However… Today McAfee is helping me out and showing you exactly why I was (note the past tense) so paranoid by releasing this infographic that explains it perfectly!
Well, what do you think now??? I am not so crazy am I? (don’t answer that!)
Truth be told, I actually am enjoying my phone now because I installed McAfee Wavesecure. Why not try out a free trial on your smartphone and see why I am feeling better about keeping my life on my phone here.
Stay safe out there!
