Here is your friendly reminder to take a few minutes and perform your annual privacy/data security checkup. If you haven’t done one before, now is as good of time as any to start. The more things you check on the better, but here are a few ideas of places to start:
- Facebook privacy checkup
- Google privacy checkup
- haveibeenpwned.com – check all of your email accounts and passwords and update any that are exposed
- Get your free annual credit report
- Next time you log into any accounts, especially financial accounts, make sure you have turned on Two Factor Authentication/2FA.
- One final suggestion (also a reminder of today’s headline about updating IOS devices–via TechCrunch), is to make sure you keep all of your devices up-to-date.
There are other things you can do too, but this will give you a good start on making sure your data is protected.
