Digital hygiene (which you may already know about, but just in case) refers to a set of rules and guidelines for keeping your digital devices and the information stored on them safe.

These rules need to be followed as diligently as regular hygiene practices. You wash your hands, clean your clothes, and keep yourself and your surroundings tidy every day. At least that's what we want to believe 🌚

So it's the same story about your devices.

Keeping things ‘clean’ and safe to handle is essential for maintaining a secure digital life ⬇️

🧼 Control the privacy settings of your devices and social media/messaging apps. You should periodically review those privacy settings. You have them directly in your device and separately in apps.

🧼 Don't post photos showing geolocation or personal details, such as addresses, license plate numbers, checks, or personal/medical documents.

🧼 Follow the basic rules for creating and storing passwords (you know them, please!)

🧼 Two-factor authentication is a strong defense mechanism. Google Authenticator or Microsoft OTP are simple and effective. Use them whenever possible.

🧼 Read license agreements (boring but necessary). Trust us — you'll be surprised to discover how much sensitive data about you and your device is collected and processed by the applications you use and the websites you visit.

🧼 Follow the rules of e-mail handling. It's about spam, phishing and e-mail culture as well.

🧼 Clean your cookies regularly. Don't allow all cookies—take the time to uncheck the unnecessary ones.

🧼 Don’t follow suspicious links — ensure the URL starts with https  , not http

🧼 Keep your software and applications up to date. The older your OS/app version - the more vulnerable it is.

🧼 Be careful with public wi-fi networks. Never allow the automatic connection for them.

🧼 Antivirus is the must! Firewall is useful!

Stay tidy and always up to date with the latest developments in the digital world. New threats are emerging every day🦠.

And don’t forget to take your vitamin C—it’s not related to digital hygiene, but it’ll help you stay healthy!
