Added support for HEIF, HEIC, and AVIF image files.
Changed the cursor to a hand shape when zooming in on images.
Thanks to Dmitry Y for helping to correct many errors in the Russian translation. Version 1.0 ( 2401 ) - Jun 14, 2024
Hi, my friends, I'm back.
For various reasons, I stopped developing PhoXo for nearly ten years. However, I have not abandoned it. The fact that you can still access this domain is the best proof of that.
PhoXoSee, an image viewing software, is my first creation after rising from the ashes. I spent several months refining its performance. Install it and scroll your mouse wheel to experience its incredible image viewing speed.
I won't be adding more features to the main program; its speed will only get faster with updates. Next, I'll release an image editing software called PhoXoMini to complement it. The goal is to combine fast viewing with fast editing.
Today is a new beginning, and the future will be better. https://phoxo.com/see/ PHOXOSEE
Lightning-fast and Lightweight Image Viewer
Experience the next generation of image viewing software, brings you incredible loading speeds, minimal memory usage, and powerful tools.
Easily locate photos by their taken date, scale SVG images without loss of quality, and enhance your image viewing experience with powerful real-time effects processing.
It's free for both personal and commercial use.
FREE DOWNLOAD https://phoxo.com/see/release/phoxosee_1.1.24.2.exe
Version: v1.1.24.2
Release: Jun 26, 2024
Size: 3.8 MB
Requirements:
Windows 10/11 (64-bit) LIGHTNING FAST
I understand that speed is the most important feature for image viewing software. PhoXoSee is designed with performance in mind.
Through highly optimized code, you will experience smooth performance whether you're launching the software, browsing images, or performing operations, even when handling large images.
LIGHTWEIGHT DESIGN
With its minimal footprint, the software occupies very little disk space, the installation package is only 3.6MB, making it perfect for any computer.
Benefiting from its compact design, it consumes very little memory, resulting in minimal impact on your office work or internet browsing. You can even run it inside a virtual machine.
BETTER VIEWING
The function inherited from PhoXo has been optimized for modern multi-core CPU, Making real-time image processing available. Operations such as brightness adjustment and sharpening can now be performed without opening professional image processing software.
When displaying large images, it uses Mipmap technology to improve image quality, enhancing your viewing experience.
POWERFUL TOOLS
It offers some very useful tools, such as searching photos by capture date, displaying the GPS location where the photo was taken, and batch conversion from SVG to PNG format.
Configurable UI supporting full-screen and borderless image viewing, and it comes with built-in support for 12 languages.
Additionally, it offers a portable version for those who need it.
Our Story
The birth of PhoXo is an interesting story. Back in 1998, when I had just started university and began learning C++, at the beginning, I just wanted to write a simple image program to help me learn C++. However, I soon became deeply fascinated with image processing. After graduating, I released PhoXo V1.0 in 2003, and I spent the next ten years developing it in my spare time.
So why did I stop its development after 2014? Mainly because its kernel was still based on the code I had written during my university days, no longer suitable for modern OS and CPU. Maintenance became very difficult. It was like the first-generation Iron Man suit - it needed an upgrade. So, I decided to rewrite it, which is a big project. Combined with my slow pace, it might take 3-5 years before a new version of PhoXo is released.
Over the years, as the number of photos on my computer grew (more than 70,000 photos), I needed a fast image viewer to look at photos and also help me search photos by their capture date. However, many software options on the market were large and slow, despite being primarily image viewing tools. They included so many features for photo management and editing.
So, I decided to create my own. From the beginning of development, I determined that its core functionality would be image viewing with extreme speed-just that one function, while editing features would be moved to a separate program. This is the story behind the birth of PhoXoSee.
This is also why PhoXo has so many image processing features, while PhoXoSee has almost none. Next, I plan to create a small image processing tool for PhoXoSee called PhoXoMini.
In the blink of an eye, it has been 20 years since the first version was released in 2003. The CPU has changed from a single core to a multi-core, and the smallest unit of memory appears to have shifted from KB to GB. Finding software packages under 10MB seems nearly impossible. Developers who once pursued performance are now considered old- https://www.phoxo.com/en/

Kaspersky Are Russian Devils & Not Trusted Anymore how the mighty have Fallen From Grace & Trust
Copilot
Indeed, the perception of Kaspersky Lab has shifted significantly over time. Once regarded as a prominent cybersecurity company, it now faces skepticism due to concerns about its ties to Russian military intelligence and potential risks associated with its software. Trust is a delicate commodity, and when it falters, even mighty entities can fall from grace. ?? Avast Online Security & Privacy

Certainly! Let’s delve into the exciting world of cybersecurity and AI.
In the first quarter of 2024, Avast’s Threat Research Team has been busy uncovering threats and vulnerabilities. Here are some highlights from their report:
Social Engineering Attacks: These continue to be the largest threat across platforms. On mobile devices, over 90% of blocked threats originated from scams. Desktop platforms also saw a surge in scams (61% on mobile and 23% on desktop), fueled by malvertising and malicious push notifications. Scam authors are getting craftier, using deepfake technology and AI-manipulated audio synchronization to deceive victims.
Phishing: This persistent threat has steadily increased over the past six quarters. Prevalent phishing campaigns are detailed further in the report.
Lazarus Group APT Campaign: The Lazarus Group orchestrated a sophisticated campaign targeting individuals in Asia with deceptive job offers. Avast researchers discovered an in-the-wild exploit within a Windows driver, which was subsequently utilized by a sophisticated rootkit in this campaign.
Zero-Day Vulnerability: In February, Avast researchers found and reported a zero-day admin-to-kernel vulnerability (CVE-2024-21338) to Microsoft. The Lazarus Group had exploited this vulnerability in the wild. Avast’s patch helped prevent further exploitation.
AI-Assisted Threats: As we step into 2024, we’re facing AI-assisted threats that are more sophisticated and harder to spot. Think deepfakes that could fool even the keenest eye and scams so well-crafted they blend seamlessly into our daily online activities.
Avast Babuk Decryption Tool: In cooperation with Cisco Talos and Dutch Police, Avast released an updated version of the Avast Babuk decryption tool. It can restore files encrypted by the Babuk variant called Tortilla.

"Kaspersky is aware of the decision by the U.S. Department of Commerce to prohibit the usage of Kaspersky software in the United States. The decision does not affect the company’s ability to sell and promote cyber threat intelligence offerings and/or trainings in the U.S. Despite proposing a system in which the security of Kaspersky products could have been independently verified by a trusted 3rd party, Kaspersky believes that the Department of Commerce made its decision based on the present geopolitical climate and theoretical concerns, rather than on a comprehensive evaluation of the integrity of Kaspersky’s products and services. Kaspersky does not engage in activities which threaten U.S. national security and, in fact, has made significant contributions with its reporting and protection from a variety of threat actors that targeted U.S. interests and allies. The company intends to pursue all legally available options to preserve its current operations and relationships.
For over 26 years, Kaspersky has succeeded in its mission of building a safer future by protecting over a billion devices. Kaspersky provides industry-leading products and services to customers around the world to protect them from all types of cyber threats, and has repeatedly demonstrated its independence from any government. Additionally, Kaspersky has implemented significant transparency measures that are unmatched by any of its cybersecurity industry peers to demonstrate its enduring commitment to integrity and trustworthiness. The Department of Commerce’s decision unfairly ignores the evidence.
The primary impact of these measures will be the benefit they provide to cybercrime. International cooperation between cybersecurity experts is crucial in the fight against malware, and yet this will restrict those efforts. Furthermore, it takes away the freedom that consumers and organizations, large and small, should have to use the protection they want, in this case forcing them away from the best anti-malware technology in the industry, according to independent tests. This will cause a dramatic disruption for our customers, who will be forced to urgently replace technology they prefer and have relied upon for their protection for years.
Kaspersky remains committed to protecting the world from cyberthreats. The company’s business remains resilient and strong, marked by an 11-percent growth in sales bookings in 2023. We look forward to what the future holds, and will continue to defend ourselves against actions that seek to unfairly harm our reputation and commercial interests."
Commerce Department Prohibits Russian Kaspersky Software for U.S. Customers
Download as PDF https://www.bis.gov/sites/default/files/...-CLEAN.pdf
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) announced a Final Determination prohibiting Kaspersky Lab, Inc., the U.S. subsidiary of a Russia-based anti-virus software and cybersecurity company, from directly or indirectly providing anti-virus software and cybersecurity products or services in the United States or to U.S. persons. The prohibition also applies to Kaspersky Lab, Inc.’s affiliates, subsidiaries and parent companies (together with Kaspersky Lab, Inc., “Kaspersky”).
This action is the first of its kind and is the first Final Determination issued by BIS’s Office of Information and Communications Technology and Services (OICTS), whose mission is to investigate whether certain information and communications technology or services transactions in the United States pose an undue or unacceptable national security risk. Kaspersky will generally no longer be able to, among other activities, sell its software within the United States or provide updates to software already in use. The full list of prohibited transactions can be found at oicts.bis.gov/kaspersky.
In addition to this action, BIS added three entities—AO Kaspersky Lab and OOO Kaspersky Group (Russia), and Kaspersky Labs Limited (United Kingdom)—to the Entity List for their cooperation with Russian military and intelligence authorities in support of the Russian Government’s cyber intelligence objectives.
Today’s Final Determination and Entity Listing are the result of a lengthy and thorough investigation, which found that the company’s continued operations in the United States presented a national security risk—due to the Russian Government’s offensive cyber capabilities and capacity to influence or direct Kaspersky’s operations—that could not be addressed through mitigation measures short of a total prohibition.
Individuals and businesses that utilize Kaspersky software are strongly encouraged to expeditiously transition to new vendors to limit exposure of personal or other sensitive data to malign actors due to a potential lack of cybersecurity coverage. Individuals and businesses that continue to use existing Kaspersky products and services will not face legal penalties under the Final Determination. However, any individual or business that continues to use Kaspersky products and services assumes all the cybersecurity and associated risks of doing so.
In order to minimize disruption to U.S. consumers and businesses and to give them time to find suitable alternatives, the Department’s determination will allow Kaspersky to continue certain operations in the United States—including providing anti-virus signature updates and codebase updates—until 12:00AM Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) on September 29, 2024.
“The Biden-Harris Administration is committed to a whole-of-government approach to protect our national security and out-innovate our adversaries,” said Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo. “Russia has shown time and again they have the capability and intent to exploit Russian companies, like Kaspersky Lab, to collect and weaponize sensitive U.S. information, and we will continue to use every tool at our disposal to safeguard U.S. national security and the American people. Today’s action, our first use of the Commerce Department’s ICTS authorities, demonstrates Commerce’s role in support of our national defense and shows our adversaries we will not hesitate to act when they use their technology poses a risk to United States and its citizens.”
“Whether you are shopping online or sending an email, Americans need to know they can rely on the safety and security of their devices,” said Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas. “The actions taken today are vital to our national security and will better protect the personal information and privacy of many Americans. We will continue to work with the Department of Commerce, state and local officials, and critical infrastructure operators to protect our nation’s most vital systems and assets.”
“With today’s action, the American cyber ecosystem is safer and more secure than it was yesterday,” said Under Secretary for Industry and Security Alan Estevez. “We will not hesitate to protect U.S. individuals and businesses from Russia or other malign actors who seek to weaponize technology that is supposed to protect its users.”
Kaspersky provides IT security solutions—including tools meant to defend against cyberthreats, such as malware, spam, hackers, distributed denial of services attacks, cyber espionage tools, and cyber weapons that target critical infrastructure—to home computer users, small companies, large corporations, and governments.
Today’s Final Determination finds ICTS transactions involving such products and services, such as the ability to gather valuable U.S. business information, including intellectual property, and to gather U.S. persons’ sensitive data for malicious use by the Russian Government, pose an undue or unacceptable national security risk and therefore prohibits continued transactions involving Kaspersky’s products and services.
“The Russian Government has proven that it has the capability and intent to exploit Russian companies like Kaspersky to collect sensitive U.S. personal information and compromise the systems and networks that use these products,” said Elizabeth Cannon, Executive Director of the Office of Information and Communications Technology and Services. “The Department of Commerce stands ready to assist U.S. businesses and individual consumers across the country to respond appropriately to today’s action.”
BIS has determined that Kaspersky poses an undue or unacceptable risk to national security for the following reasons:
Jurisdiction, control, or direction of the Russian Government: Kaspersky is subject to the jurisdiction of the Russian Government and must comply with requests for information that could lead to the exploitation of access to sensitive information present on electronic devices using Kaspersky’s anti-virus software.
Access to sensitive U.S. customer information through administrative privileges: Kaspersky has broad access to, and administrative privileges over, customer information through the provision of cybersecurity and anti-virus software. Kaspersky employees could potentially transfer U.S. customer data to Russia, where it would be accessible to the Russian Government under Russian law.
Capability or opportunity to install malicious software and withhold critical updates: Kaspersky has the ability to use its products to install malicious software on U.S. customers’ computers or to selectively deny updates, leaving U.S. persons and critical infrastructure vulnerable to malware and exploitation.
Third-party integration of Kaspersky products: Kaspersky software is integrated into third-party products and services through resale of its software, integration of its cybersecurity or anti-virus software into other products and services, or licensing of Kaspersky cybersecurity or anti-virus software for purposes of resale or integration into other products or services. Third-party transactions such as these create circumstances where the source code for the software is unknown. This increases the likelihood that Kaspersky software could unwittingly be introduced into devices or networks containing highly sensitive U.S. persons data.
Kaspersky is a multinational company with offices in 31 countries, servicing users in over 200 countries and territories. Kaspersky provides cybersecurity and anti-virus products and services to over 400 million users and 270,000 corporate clients globally.
The U.S. Government previously took action against Kaspersky in 2017, when the Department of Homeland Security issued a directive requiring federal agencies to remove and discontinue use of Kaspersky-branded products on federal information systems. Additionally, the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2018 prohibited the use of Kaspersky by the Federal Government. In addition, in March 2022, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission added to its “List of Communications Equipment and Services that Pose a Threat to National Security” information security products, solutions, and services supplied, directly or indirectly, by Kaspersky. Today’s determination by the Department is the latest U.S. Government action in an ongoing effort to protect U.S. citizens’ national security.
The Department is working with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Department of Justice (DOJ) to inform U.S. customers, including State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial (SLTT) government agencies, non-government customers at the SLTT level, and critical infrastructure operators, about ways to easily remove the software. In addition, the Department is working with federal departments and agencies to inform users about this action and ensure a smooth transition for customers.
Additional information about this action and publicly available resources can be found on our website [oicts.bis.gov/kaspersky] and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) page.
The text of the Final Determination and a non-exhaustive list of prohibited products and services are available in the Federal Register online here.
Additional Information:
EO 13873, “Securing the Information and Communications Technology and Services Supply Chain,” and its implementing regulation at 15 C.F.R. Part 7 allow the Department of Commerce to investigate whether certain ICTS transactions (1) pose an undue or unacceptable risk of sabotage to or subversion of ICTS in the United States; (2) pose an undue risk of catastrophic effects on the security or resiliency of U.S. critical infrastructure or the digital economy of the United States; or (3) otherwise pose an unacceptable risk to the national security of the United States or the security and safety of U.S. persons. If the Department determines that an ICTS transaction poses an undue or unacceptable risk, the Department, in consultation with its interagency partners, may prohibit the transaction or impose mitigation measures.
As a consequence of this investigation, Kaspersky is prohibited from conducting or participating in certain ICTS transactions with U.S. persons pursuant to today’s Final Determination.
The ICTS program became a mission within BIS in 2022. For more information on the ICTS program, visit oicts.bis.gov.
Additional Background on the Entity List
Additions to the Entity List are made under the authority of the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 and its implementing regulations, the Export Administration Regulations (EAR).
The Entity List (supplement no. 4 to part 744 of the EAR) identifies entities for which there is reasonable cause to believe, based on specific and articulable facts, that the entities—including businesses, research institutions, government and private organizations, individuals, and other types of legal persons—that have been involved, are involved, or pose a significant risk of being or becoming involved in activities contrary to the national security or foreign policy of the United States. Parties on the Entity List are subject to individual licensing requirements and policies supplemental to those found elsewhere in the EAR.
Entity List additions are determined by the interagency End-User Review Committee (ERC), comprised of the Departments of Commerce (Chair), Defense, State, Energy, and where appropriate, the Treasury, based on specific and articulable facts that the entities have been involved, are involved, or pose a significant risk of being or becoming involved in activities contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States.
https://www.security.nl/posting/846224/T...nk-routers Taiwanese Government Warns of Hidden Backdoor in D-Link Routers
Monday 17 June 2024, 16:25 by Redactie,
Several of D-Link's routers contain a "hidden backdoor" that allows attackers to log into the devices, Taiwan's Computer Emergency Response Team (TWCERT) has warned.
"Certain models of D-Link Wi-Fi routers include an unlisted factory test backdoor. Unauthenticated attackers on the local network can enable Telnet via a special url and then log in via the admin credentials found in the firmware," the Taiwanese government agency explained. According to D-Link's description, it is a path traversal vulnerability, although it could also be a flaw in the description, as the same security bulletin describes a different path traversal vulnerability.
According to D-Link's explanation, an unauthenticated attacker can gain access to a specific URL, which can be used to enable Telnet. Then, an attacker can log in using the hardcoded credentials found in the router firmware. Telnet, which dates back to 1969, allows users to log in to machines remotely. It does not use encryption, which means that username and password are sent unencrypted. Its use is therefore not recommended and is now disabled on many devices.
According to D-Link, the attack is only possible from the LAN side. The problem seems to be mainly with Wi-Fi networks that multiple people have access to. The impact of the vulnerability (CVE-2024-6045) was rated 8.8 on a scale of 1 to 10.

Summer is synonymous with vacations, a time when families pack their bags, grab their sunscreen, and embark on exciting adventures. In the digital age, smartphones have become an indispensable part of our lives, serving as cameras, maps, entertainment hubs, and communication tools. While these devices enhance our travel experiences, they also become prime targets for theft or damage while we’re away from home. From keeping us connected with family and friends, assisting in navigation, capturing moments, to even helping us with language translation – it is a device of many conveniences. However, when you bring your smartphone while vacationing, like any other valuable item, it becomes a target for theft and damage. Not to mention the potential for high roaming charges.
Don’t let the fear of losing or damaging your valuable devices dampen your vacation spirit! By taking some simple precautions and implementing effective strategies, you can ensure that your family’s smartphones remain safe and secure throughout your travels. In this blog post, we’ll share essential tips and tricks for safeguarding your devices, so you can focus on creating unforgettable memories without any tech-related worries. This article will provide you with tips on how to protect your family’s smartphones while on vacation. We will cover strategies like enabling security settings, backing up data, checking for travel insurance policies, and utilizing helpful apps. Ensuring the safety of your devices will make your vacation more enjoyable and worry-free.
Smartphone Safety During Vacation
Traveling without smartphones seems almost impossible. However, having them on vacation puts them at risk. In tourist hotspots, where distractions are many, it is easy to lose or have your device stolen. Moreover, using public Wi-Fi networks can expose your smartphone to cyber attacks.

Therefore, it is vital to be proactive in securing both your smartphones and the data they contain. Not only will it save you from the high costs of replacing a lost or damaged phone, but it also prevents potential misuse of personal and financial information. Implementing even just a few of these safety measures can help ensure your family’s smartphones are well-protected during your vacation. So let’s dive into the practical steps you can take.
Step 1: How To Protect Your Smartphone
Invest in Protective Gear: Equipping each device with a sturdy case and screen protector can significantly reduce the risk of damage due to accidental drops or impacts.
Protect Your Devices: Whether you protect yours through a mobile security app or as part of the multi-device coverage that comes with your comprehensive security software, mobile protection can alert you of threats and unsecured networks while also adding in the protection of a VPN.
Regularly Backup Data: Back up photos, contacts, and other essential data to cloud storage or a computer. This ensures that precious memories and information are not lost in case of theft or damage.
Enable Tracking Features: Activate “Find My Phone” or similar features on each device. These tools can help locate a lost or stolen device and even remotely erase its data if necessary.
Exercise Caution with Public Wi-Fi: Public Wi-Fi networks can be vulnerable to hackers. Avoid using them for sensitive activities like online banking. If necessary, utilize a Virtual Private Network (VPN) for added security.
Establish Phone Usage Guidelines: Discuss responsible phone use with children, setting clear expectations and limitations. Encourage them to unplug and fully engage in the vacation experience.
Designate a Secure Storage Location: Establish a designated area in your hotel room or vacation rental for storing phones when not in use. This prevents misplacement and reduces the risk of theft.
Maintain a Low Profile: Avoid openly displaying expensive devices, particularly in crowded areas or unfamiliar surroundings. Discreetness can deter potential thieves.
Consider Insurance Coverage: Depending on your existing insurance policies, you may have coverage for mobile devices. Alternatively, explore dedicated device insurance for added protection.
Prioritize Family Time: Remember, the primary purpose of vacation is to connect with loved ones and create lasting memories. Encourage everyone to put down their phones and fully immerse themselves in the experience.
Step 2: Protecting Your Smartphone Physically
The first layer of protection for your phone should be a physical one. It starts with investing in a good quality, durable phone case. A waterproof case is always a good idea, especially if you’re planning on vacationing near the beach or a pool. A screen protector can also keep your screen from shattering or getting scratched. Remember, you’re more likely to drop your phone while on vacation as you juggle through maps, travel apps, and numerous photo opportunities.
Another aspect of physical protection is to be mindful of where you store your phone. Avoid leaving it in plain sight or unattended, which could invite potential thieves. Instead, carry it in a secure, zipped pocket or bag. If you’re staying at a hotel, consider using the safe to store your phone when not in use. Most importantly, be aware of your surroundings and keep your phone safely tucked away in crowded places.

Step 3: Data Protection and Privacy
Safeguarding your phone is not just about protecting the physical device—your personal and sensitive data deserves protection too. Before you leave for your vacation, make sure that your phone is password-protected. Optimally, use a complex password, fingerprint, or face recognition feature instead of a simple four-digit PIN. This singular step can deter any prying eyes from accessing your information if your phone is lost or stolen.
Ensure your phone’s software is up to date. Regular updates not only enhance the device’s performance but also incorporate vital security patches, fortifying its defenses against potential threats like malware. By staying vigilant and keeping your phone’s software current, you contribute to a more secure environment, minimizing the risk of unauthorized eyes accessing your valuable information in the event of a loss or theft.

Step 4: Backup Your Data
Backing up your smartphone’s data before leaving for vacation can save you from a lot of stress. In case of loss, theft, or damage, having a backup ensures that you won’t lose your cherished photos, contacts, and other essential data. Most smartphones allow you to back up your data to the cloud. Make sure to do this over a safe, secure network and not on public Wi-Fi.
For Android users, Google provides an automatic backup service for things like app data, call history, and settings. You can check if this feature is enabled on your phone by going to the Google Drive App and checking in the Backups section. For iPhone users, iCloud Backup can help save most of your data and settings. To enable it, go to Settings, tap on your name, then tap iCloud and scroll down to tap iCloud Backup.
Step 5: Understand and Manage Roaming Charges
Without proper management, staying connected while abroad can result in expensive roaming charges. Before you leave, check with your mobile provider to understand the costs associated with using your phone abroad. Some providers offer international plans that you can temporarily switch to for your vacation. If your provider’s charges are too high, consider purchasing a local SIM card once you arrive at your destination or use an international data package.
Another way to avoid roaming charges is by using Wi-Fi. Most hotels, cafes, and many public spaces have free Wi-Fi available. However, again, public Wi-Fi is not always safe. So, avoid accessing sensitive information such as bank accounts, and before traveling, download maps and essential content before traveling to reduce the need for constant data usage. This is especially helpful for navigation apps. To protect your data in such situations, it’s advisable to use a Virtual Private Network (VPN).

Step 6: Utilize Helpful Apps
Several apps can help protect your phone and its data during your vacation. Most smartphone operating systems offer a “Find My Phone” feature that can locate, lock, or erase your device if it is lost or stolen. Make sure this feature is enabled before you leave.
Again, antivirus apps can provide an extra layer of protection against virus and malware threats. Password manager apps can help you create and store complex, unique passwords for your accounts to enhance security.
VPN apps can protect your data from being intercepted when using public Wi-Fi networks. There are also apps that monitor your data usage and can alert you if you’re near your limit to avoid unexpected charges. Research and install these apps prior to your vacation for added security and peace of mind.
Final Thoughts
Your family’s smartphones are essential travel companions that deserve as much protection as any other valuable item during your vacation. By physically safeguarding the device, securing your data, backing up regularly, understanding roaming charges, and utilizing productive apps, you can enjoy a worry-free vacation. Remember, in the event of a mishap, having travel insurance can provide an extra layer of financial protection. So, before setting off, review your policy and check if it covers lost or stolen devices. In the end, preparation is key, so take the time to implement these safety measures and enjoy your vacation with peace of mind.
Above and beyond security settings and software, there’s you. Get in the habit of talking with your child for a sense of what they’re doing online. As a mom, I like to ask them about their favorite games, share some funny TikTok clips or cute photos with them, and generally make it a point to be a part of their digital lives. It’s great, because it gives you peace of mind knowing what types of things they are doing or interactions they are having online.
For those of you hitting the road in the coming weeks, enjoy your travels, wherever they take you!
