#AirdropSafetyGuide Limit AirDrop Accessibility:

Turn it off or set to "Contacts Only" when not needed: This prevents unwanted files from being sent to you, especially in public. 

"Contacts Only" restricts AirDrop to your contacts: This ensures that only people in your phonebook can send you files. 

Avoid setting AirDrop to "Everyone" for extended periods: This option allows anyone to send files, which can be a security risk. 

2. Verify Senders:

Always verify with your contact before accepting AirDrop transfers: Confirm that the sender is who they claim to be. 

Don't accept files from strangers: Be cautious of unsolicited AirDrop requests. 

Review the sender's device name: AirDrop displays the device's name, which can help you verify the sender. 

3. Be Cautious When Downloading Files:

Review files before downloading: Inspect the file type and name before accepting it.

Be wary of suspicious files: If a file seems unusual or comes from an untrusted source, don't download it.

Consider a factory reset if you suspect your device has been compromised: This will restore your device to its original state. 

4. Manage AirDrop Settings:

Check and adjust AirDrop settings regularly: Ensure you have the desired level of security and privacy. 

Use parental control software if needed: This can help monitor and control your child's AirDrop usage. 

5. Report Cyberflashing:

Report any cyberflashing incidents to law enforcement, school authorities, and the platform where the content originated: Do not share the content with anyone else.

Encourage your child to report cyberflashing incidents: Empower them to protect themselves. 

6. Additional Safety Tips:

Use strong, unique passwords for your devices and accounts: This prevents unauthorized access. 

Update your software regularly: Software updates often include security patches that can protect your device. 

Be mindful of where you connect your wallet and what you sign: Scammers may try to trick you into approving unauthorized transactions.
