As the winter holiday travel season begins, US-CERT and Stop.Think.Connect would like to remind users to be mindful of the security risks associated with portable devices such as smart phones, tablets, and laptops. These devices offer a range of conveniences such as allowing us to order gifts on-the-go, providing us with directions, and even letting us download our boarding pass to pass through security with just our mobile device.
