Mobile devices account for more than half the time we spend online. Using social network apps makes it easy to access social media accounts with just one tap.
That’s great as long as your phone stays in your own hands. But if your phone is lost or stolen, one-tap access makes it easy for a thief to access social accounts. And then they can message all of your connections with phishing or malware attacks.
Protecting the device with a password or fingerprint lock helps, but more than half of mobile phone users leave their phones unlocked. Be sure not to be one of them.
