The stress and ramifications of either scenario puts the minor inconvenience of buying toothpaste into perspective. Not only is it an expensive piece of technology to replace, but the real cost comes from sensitive personal information stored on your phone that could land in a stranger\u2019s hands.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">To travel-proof your PII and mobile devices, here are some key steps you should take before, during, and after your big international trip.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Before Your Trip<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The surefire way to ensure your device isn\u2019t stolen or lost while traveling internationally is to leave it at home. If that\u2019s a viable option, do it! When traveling outside your home country, your phone plan might not even work abroad. Before you depart, think about how you might use your smartphone on vacation. To stay in contact with your traveling partners, consider outfitting your party with prepaid phones. These basic phones are usually inexpensive, and you can buy them at most airports and convenience stores when you arrive at your destination.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">If you do decide to bring your phone, here are a few quick device security measures you can put into place to protect your device and the sensitive information you have on it.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"4\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559684&quot;:-2,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Symbol&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;\uf0b7&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"1\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Enable passcode entry or face ID. <\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">If your device does fall into the wrong hands, passcode-protecting your device is a great way to immediately deny someone access, thus keeping your PII private.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"4\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559684&quot;:-2,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Symbol&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;\uf0b7&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"2\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Clear your cache.<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> Before you depart, clear your cache and browsing history on your phone.

It\u2019s best to try to blend in as much as possible while traveling. Revise your packing list to carry as little as possible. Wrangling a pile of luggage could distract you from paying attention to your surroundings.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">During Travel<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Seeing world-famous landmarks with your own eyes is one of the best parts of traveling, though tourist hot spots are infamous for various pickpocketing schemes. Even when you\u2019re dazzled by the sights, remain aware of your surroundings.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Another way to protect the information on your device is to be careful when logging into public wi-fi networks and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/mobile-security\/be-on-the-lookout-for-a-new-wave-of-qr-code-scams\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">scanning QR codes<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> while you\u2019re traveling.

When you enable a VPN on your device, it encrypts all the information running into and out of your device, making it nearly impossible for someone to track your online comings and goings. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/en-us\/identity-theft\/protection.html?path=blogs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">McAfee+<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> includes a VPN among its many other services.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">QR codes are a convenient way for museums, restaurants, and other establishments to direct customers to a website for more information instead of dealing with paper pamphlets and menus. When you scan a QR code, double check that it\u2019s official and ok to scan. Cybercriminals may post legitimate-looking QR codes that direct to suspicious sites or download malware to your device.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">After Travel<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Once you\u2019re home from your adventure, it\u2019s best practice to do some digital housekeeping. For example, delete your vacation-specific apps, like the train services you used to check schedules or book tickets. The fewer apps you have, the fewer chances a cybercriminal has of stealing your personal or payment information.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Then, for the next few weeks, keep an eye on your credit card statements and any suspicious activity regarding your credit or identity.
