It is no longer the 1990s. Cyber security news will become more and more shocking. We ALL need to look after our own privacy and security. So what can we do? The most important thing is to THINK and not abdicate responsibility to others.

Be savvy with basics
- Use RFID protection in your 'old school' wallet.
- Use a quality, trustworthy, popular VPN (Virtual Private Network) (You have nothing to hide? You do have a right to some privacy)
- Use 2 factor authentication (not SMS based if possible)
- Delete unnecessary wireless networks from your devices and only turn on wireless when required.
Make conscious decisions about your privacy for the future because once data is out there you can't bring it back.
- Anyone can be duped. Attacks are very sophisticated and we are all human.
- The more you learn, the safer you will be.
- Plan to be hacked. You will be. Individuals are soft targets. Just don't be the lowest hanging fruit for criminals.
Best wishes, stay safe.
