Expert says to delete these phone apps after your holiday to avoid losing money to hackers

As the summer season gets underway, Brits are jetting off to sunnier climes for a well-deserved break. However, tech expert Sam Crawford from byCrawford has issued a stark warning to holidaymakers about the potential dangers of cybercrime. "When you get back from your trip, it's a good idea to tidy up your digital space," he advised.

"The fewer apps you have, the less likely a hacker is to steal your personal or payment information." Crawford recommends that once your holiday is over, you should delete everything you don't need. This includes any apps used exclusively for your trip - whether they're local taxi services, bike rental apps, or anything else that can access your location data.

While this might seem harmless, Crawford warns that it's far from innocent. In some cases, app tracking allows companies to use or even sell your data for targeted advertising. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.
