Don’t Let Holiday Shopping Deals Put Your Data or The Planet at Risk

Black Friday and Cyber Monday are coming, and millions of people and businesses will be upgrading devices at the same time. The deals are everywhere. Phones, laptops, monitors, tablets, and accessories are suddenly hundreds of dollars off, and retailers are offering bundles, limited-time discounts, and free shipping that can make it hard to resist. While it is tempting to click “buy” on the latest tech, it is important to be aware of the risks that come with this shopping surge. Upgrading tech often means old devices are discarded, and if they are not properly handled, they can create serious data security and environmental issues.
