Many times, when I am meeting with new people in my office, they pull out their phone to open their financial accounts. They may be logging into the company 401(k), their brokerage account, or their bank accounts. I always ask them if they have a VPN on their phone, their common reply is “what is that”?
A VPN, which stands for virtual private network, protects its users by encrypting their data and masking their IP addresses. This hides their browsing activity, identity, and location, allowing for greater privacy and autonomy.
I cannot stress enough how important it is to have this on all of your devices. Most people are keeping their financial data on their phone or iPad without protection. Thieves are getting very sophisticated at skimming information. This is an effortless way to protect your financial data – do it!
