When your laptop goes to the store for repairs, you risk exposing your private information, as the son of a presidential candidate recently discovered. But experts say there are ways to protect yourself.

A Delaware computer technician recently claimed that a man identifying himself as Hunter Biden brought a broken MacBook Pro to his repair shop. President Trump’s personal attorney Rudolph Giuliani claims he has files from the laptop that contain damaging information about the presidential candidate’s son. Don’t let this happen to you, observers warn.

“The most important thing laptop users can learn from this story is that sensitive personal information can easily be compromised,” Atilla Tomaschek, Digital Privacy Expert at ProPrivacy, said in an email interview. “It can happen when a laptop or other digital storage device is lost, stolen, or even transferred to a third party if proper precautions are not taken to secure the device and the data stored on it.”

To prevent your laptop from getting “Huntered,” don’t overlook the basics, experts say. First, laptop users should always set a strong password. “This password should be required when starting up the device, waking from sleep mode, and to authorize file downloads or system changes,” Tomaschek says.
