Think of the worst possible scenario and be secure

Your hard work can be undone by one poor move

-

Behind every financial move thay you make should be a considerat­ion that your personal informatio­n is as safe as possible and that the hardware and software you have is able to give you the necessary protection. You need to think of every possibilit­y, from having your debit card cloned to people trying to get your personal informatio­n through a multitude of different schemes, and the first tip we can offer is Apple Pay.

When set up it uses a different unique code every time you shop, and even the retailer will not receive any details about who you are. This makes it as secure as it can be, and it is arguably better than a debit or credit card in most instances. The fact it is so easy to use is an added bonus. Also, remember to secure your Mac and use ‘Strong passwords’ throughout your Apple ecosystem for a secure environmen­t.

Apple is strong on security and privacy and has developed software and hardware to ensure you are as protected as you can be at all times, so you should use as many of the features as you can. Finally, use common sense and prudence at all times with all of your financial dealings.
