Are you traveling with an iPhone? If so, make it as secure as possible. Those things, like all small electronics, can disappear in a moment — and I do mean moment, not minute.
First, click this link to Apple’s tech note on how to secure your iPhone, called iOS: Understanding data protection. KnowledgeBase article HT4175.
This way, at least if your iPhone disappears your data won’t be in other people’s hands.
Also, make sure you turn on Find My iPhone – and KEEP IT ON!
It does require Location Services so you might be tempted to turn it off. Don’t. Read the link I just gave you, then follow that article to Apple’s article called iCloud: Set up Find My iPhone. The direct link for US phones is this.
Wonder how good the password is on the iPhone? Read “The iPhone Has Passed a Key Security Threshold” by SIMSON L. GARFINKEL, published on Monday, August 13, 2012 in Technology Review by MIT.
