Ugh, that’s rough. It’s wild that you have to think about digital security on top of everything else. And of course, all those fancy “privacy protection” services cost an arm and a leg.
Honestly, the most important steps are completely free.
- Change your passwords. All of them. Start with your primary email, then social media, banking, everything.
- Turn on two-factor authentication (2FA) everywhere you possibly can. It’s a free feature on most services and it’s a huge pain for anyone trying to snoop.
- Go through your social media privacy settings. Make your accounts private, untag yourself from old photos, and use the block button freely.
- Check the “logged in devices” section on your Google, Apple, and Facebook accounts and log out of everything you don’t recognize.
Anyone know if there are any good deals on a solid, cheap VPN right now? I’m always looking.
