Let's test your instinct for self-preservation on the internet.

✅ Your personal social media accounts are private (meaning only approved friends can see your info and posts)

✅ Your social media nickname doesn’t contain your last name, date, or year of birth (or any data that could be classified as personally identifiable information).

✅ Your strong password doesn't include your birth date or information that can be taken from your Facebook or Instagram page.

✅ You have two-factor authentication turned ON.

✅ You don't geotag places you visit frequently or regularly.

✅ You don’t post photos of your kids with their names and birthdays. Or if you do, you definitely don’t use such information as passwords.

✅ You don't take photos of your tickets, passports, medical tests where personal data is visible.

✅ You don’t post photos of your car’s license plate, receipts, or parking tickets.

✅ You don’t post information that reveals your daily routine, habits, or favorite places.

✅ Your kids understand why social media profiles only have a nickname and never a full name.

✅ All your devices have the latest software versions installed

✅ You have a strong password on your home Wi-Fi that only you and your closest circle know.

You can fix any of these items right now! So you don't mess up later 😂

No matter how strange the phrase ‘less is better’ may sound, let this be your main rule online.
