1. A method for automatically protecting a consumer electronics device comprising:
detecting, by at least one processor via communication with a first software application operating on the consumer electronics device, first data from operation of the consumer electronics device, the first data comprising transmission data detected via the first software application on the consumer electronics device in response to operation of a second software application executed on the consumer electronics device, wherein the transmission data from the operation of the consumer electronics device comprises at least one of a text message, an email, or a destination address;
detecting, by the at least one processor, at least one activity indicated by the at least one of the text message, the email, or the destination address of the transmission data from the operation of the consumer electronics device, wherein the at least one activity is identified as occurring in the future;
determining, by the at least one processor, that the at least one activity matches a risk scenario of a defined list of risk scenarios, each risk scenario of the defined list of risk scenarios representing a consumer activity indicated as a risk of physical damage or loss to the consumer electronics device during the consumer activity;
determining, by the at least one processor, that the risk scenario is associated with second data indicating a warning associated with the risk scenario is to be generated for output via the consumer electronics device;
causing generation, by the at least one processor, of a notification message visible via a user interface of the consumer electronics device, the notification message comprising the warning associated with the risk scenario, the warning comprising an indication that the consumer electronics device is at an increased risk of physical damage or loss; and
causing automatic initiation, via the first software application, of a new backup of the consumer electronics device (i) in response to a determination that the at least one activity matches the risk scenario of the defined list of risk scenarios and (ii) prior to the occurrence of the at least one activity.
