Top Personal Security And Safety Tips

Do not have conversations with "wrong number" callers.

Never provide any information about yourself to somebody who reaches you in a "wrong number;" callers might not have actually dialed you by accident - they are criminals seeking information in an attempt to target you for identity theft or worse.

Do not let anyone see you enter sensitive information to a computerized device.

With cameras omnipresent, it's important to block people's opinion of your hand when entering PIN numbers, passwords, alarm codes, your children's carpool pickup times, etc.. Remember, high-resolution cameras that can see clearly from far away are widely available - you might not even see a camera that is recording you.

Cover cameras.

Cover the cameras on smartphones, laptops, tablets, smart televisions, etc., when you want to make certain that they cannot record you. Left uncovered they could set you without your knowledge. Keep in mind that microphones may also be activated by malware.

Lock up harmful medications which are candidates for misuse.

If you've got such prescription medications at home do not store them in medicine cabinets which are accessible by people or anywhere else where visitors may strike them. You don't know the private demons of everybody who visits your house - lots of men and women suffer from dependency problems; the same may hold true for the other residents of your house.
