PROJECT: CYBERSECURITY WHEN TRAVELLING

YOU MAY SHARE THIS PUBLIC DOCUMENT

 

SSS not only investigates serious, violent crimes, serious economic crimes, and cybercrimes but

also focuses on crime prevention by educating the public on proactive personal safety measures.

With the upcoming school holidays, it is critical

to be even more vigilant.

 

When planning to travel, you must prioritise cybersecurity to protect your personal information and mitigate potential risks.

 
  • Use strong, unique passwords:

    • Create strong, unique passwords for each online account and refrain from using the same password across multiple sites.

    • Consider employing a reliable password manager to store and manage your passwords securely.

  •  Enable two-factor authentication (2FA):

    •  Activate 2FA on all your accounts whenever possible.

    • This additional layer of security requires a second form of verification beyond your password.

  • Update software and apps:

    • It is imperative to ensure that all your devices, including smartphones and laptops, have the latest updates and security patches installed to protect against vulnerabilities.

  •  Use secure connections:

    • Avoid using public Wi-Fi for sensitive transactions.

    • Utilise a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to encrypt your internet connection and safeguard your data.

  •  Monitor your financial accounts:

    • Regularly scrutinise your bank and credit card statements for unauthorised transactions and immediately report any suspicious activity.

  • Secure your devices:

    • Utilise passwords or biometric locks (e.g., fingerprints or face recognition) to secure your devices.

    • If your device has remote wipe capabilities, ensure they can remotely erase data if lost or stolen.

  •  Be cautious with sharing personal information:

    • Avoid sharing personal information, such as travel plans or location details, on social media or public forums to avoid becoming a target for scammers.

  • Backup important data:

    • To ensure data recovery in case of device loss or theft, regularly back up important documents and information to a secure location, such as an encrypted cloud service or an external hard drive.

  •  Verify travel and accommodation bookings:

    • Exercise caution by using reputable travel agencies and booking platforms, double-checking email confirmations, and ensuring that the URLs of booking sites are correct and secure.

  •  Be wary of phishing scams:

    •  Exercise extreme caution with emails or messages requesting personal or financial information, especially if they appear from travel companies or financial institutions.

    • Verify the legitimacy of the sender before providing any information.

  • Secure your home network:

    • Before travelling, secure your home Wi-Fi network with a strong password and encryption to prevent unauthorised access while you're away.

  • Consider travel insurance:

    • It is advisable to purchase travel insurance that covers cyber threats and theft to provide additional protection in case of data breaches or loss of personal information.

 

These cybersecurity safety measures will guard your personal information and help you enjoy a worry-free travel experience.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: All potential clients need to be aware that owing to the nature of our work as specialist investigators there are people who have been caught on the wrong side of the law - who are trying to discredit me - Mike Bolhuis and my organisation Specialised Security Services - to get themselves off the hook. This retaliation happens on social media and creates doubt about our integrity and ability. Doubt created on social media platforms is both unwarranted and untrue. We strongly recommend that you make up your minds concerning me and our organisation only after considering all the factual information - to the exclusion of hearsay and assumptions. Furthermore, you are welcome to address your concerns directly with me should you still be unsatisfied with your conclusions. While the internet provides a lot of valuable information, it is also a platform that distributes a lot of false information. The distribution of false information, fake news, slander and hate speech constitutes a crime that can be prosecuted by law. Your own research discretion and discernment are imperative when choosing what and what not to believe.


STANDARD RULES APPLY: Upon appointment, we require a formal mandate with detailed instructions. Please take note that should you not make use of our services – you may not under any circumstance use my name or the name of my organisation as a means to achieve whatever end.
