As it turns out, phones are not always the most desired devices to cyber criminals. According to Henderson, “laptops and other personal devices can contain personally identifiable information—credit card statements, addresses, employment status, account passwords, and more—that, in the hands of the bad guys, can make it easy for a cyber criminal to steal your identity.”
Although you’re better off leaving your laptop behind while on vacation, Henderson recommends installing the latest antivirus software and security patches on any device that you do bring.
