Watch out for someone hacking your airline miles accounts

With so many hacks out there recently, your first instinct might be to look at your credit cards and bank accounts after a breach. If you’ve racked up tons of frequent flyer miles, you should check those accounts also.

The average person might not think to check a frequent flier account. That’s why they’re a great target for hackers. You might not find out the account was hacked until someone goes on a joy ride at your expense. You can also protect your account by protecting your boarding pass.

Don’t put that in the seat pocket when you’re done. Treat it like a credit card receipt and dispose of it securely. If you have a lot of miles, check your account quarterly for suspicious activity the same way you would check your credit report.
