According to a new study, leaving your phone on in popular tourist destinations could be putting your mobile data at risk.

Mobile threat company Skycure recently analyzed the number of network threats that occurred in top tourists attractions over the last year to determine which pose the highest threat.

New York's Times Square hit the top of the list, with Paris' Notre Dame Cathedral and France's Disneyland Park next in line.

The safest areas for mobile security were the Taj Mahal, the Universal Studios in Japan, and the Great Wall of China.
