How To Protect Yourself Against Scams, Identity Theft, and Fraud While Traveling w/ Adam Levin

Have you ever fallen prey to a scam or had your information stolen?

This week I am joined by cyber security expert and host of What the Hack podcast, Adam Levin, to discuss exactly what you need to know to provide a defense against hackers and scammers.

If you have a cell phone number, credit card, or email address then this episode is for you. Adam shares his expertise surrounding protecting your personal information whether at home or abroad with simple breakdowns like “minimize, monitor, manage” and so much more.

What steps are you going to take to prioritize your online security? I'd love to hear what they are and hope you will share them by sending me an audio message.
