Spring has arrived, and the students prepare to head to warmer climates and tear on spring break. Coming from a father who) has torn a bit at that same age, and b) lives and breathes safety / security, I have some low-tech consulting high tech- to keep teens and twentysomethings have trouble, becoming victims or having their identity stolen, who-me-believe-will put a real damper on holiday.
# 1 do not be stupid. I know this is easier said than done. Anyone considering a spring break trip that involves partying among thousands of other teens is actually planning on getting stupid. This does not mean the success of the plan. Make smart choices and pay attention.
# 2 Eat. You will probably be drinking alcohol. Eat and eat often. Alcohol is toxic; food absorbs the poison and can prevent you from getting sick or too drunk (y toxic -ated).
# 3 Moderation. Everything in moderation, including alcohol. negative side effects of too much alcohol can mean bad hangover or even death.
# 4 Cover your drink. There are many idiots who think it is fun and funny people to drugs slipping drugs into drinks. Get your own drink and cover it with your hand or towel.
# 5 Use the buddy system. Never leave a friend alone, especially if he or she is intoxicated.
# 6 Use a designated driver. Seriously. Or taxi there.
# 7 Beware of aggressive people. It is sad that too much alcohol makes men become aggressive and women sometimes become vulnerable. Beware of this and do not become a statistic Spring Break.
# 8 Protect your portfolio. Cash, credit cards, IDs, etc. should go in your front pocket. Have a photocopy of all available online.
# 9 Locate / Lost / pane. Install the software to locate or wipe a lost mobile device, and make sure it is password protected.
# 10 WiFi security. Whether on mobile, tablet or laptop, you will be connected to the Internet at some point. And just as there are predators out there waiting for you to slip up so they can take advantage of you, there are criminal hackers looking to drag your wireless data and access your accounts to steal your identity . Download Hotspot Shield VPN for your iOS, Android, PC and Mac to encrypt all wireless Internet traffic.
