Friendly reminder to do that cyber security checkup you've put off forever:
- Update weak/reused passwords and put them in a secure password manager
- Add 2-factor authentication to every account you can
- Upgrade to passkeys where you can
- Audit your privacy settings everywhere
- Use a data scrubbing service to get your info off of search sites
- Upgrade to a secure messaging service for sensitive communications and understand how to use them safely
