BBB Encourages “Digital Spring Cleaning”

(Undated) – It’s time for “spring cleaning,” and the Better Business Bureau says that should include your digital devices. BBB Investigator, Don O’Brien, says there’s probably a bunch of digital data clutter that lives on your electronic devices. Taking some simple, proactive steps will go a long way in safeguarding against any number of potentially disruptive issues like identity theft, loss of funds, or credit card fraud. O’Brien says this is also a good time to update your system and software, back it up, make sure you are using secure passwords, clean up your online presence, and double-check your active subscriptions.
