The victims have reported discovering financial accounts that have been compromised, resulting in multiple fraudulent charges and withdrawn funds. The Boston Police Department urges the community to remain vigilant when out in public and to take steps to safeguard personal electronic devices.
Be aware of your surroundings. Individuals may stand close by and watch as you enter passwords for applications. Many companies offer screen protectors that can obscure your screen from onlookers as you use your devices.
If a phone is stolen, officials recommend that victims enable 'lost mode' or remotely wipe all data and contact police immediately. Be sure to quickly change any passwords connected to the stolen device, as even apps that offer Two Factor Authentication may be jeopardized.
