Many of us know that smartphone usage is increasing exponentially. Seriously, they are everywhere - and they are awesome in that users can text, email, search the web, play music, watch movies and much, much more.
But there can be a downside to smartphone use...(sorry). eWeek.com came out with an article back in February 2014 entitled, '10 Mobile Security Issues That Should Worry You'. Its a slideshow so it won't take long to take a peak - its worth your time and effort.
Click on this next link from Verizon.com for an entry called '9 Tips to Keep Your Smartphone Security'. Some of the highlights in the article include locking your smartphone with a pin and installing an Android security app.
Alternatively, you can click on this link titled '7 Best Practices For Smartphone Security (from Cnet.com)'. (Enabling 'Do Not Track' and Avoid answering spam calls are my faves!)
And, finally, click on these two links for more info on how to keep your smartphone safe and secure!
