Ways Our Online Data Can Be Compromised, And How To Minimize The Damage
There are multiple ways your online data can be compromised. Phishing attacks, malware, Weak Passwords, unsecure networks, data breaches, insecure websites. There are many ways for your online data to get leaked. To my surprise having unsecure WIFI networks is one of them. I had no idea. The most important in my opinion would be to have multiple passwords as this would be the easiest way for someone to access your accounts. I know many people that use the same 3 passwords for all of there important information.
The easiest way to minimize the damage for this would be to be vigilant on what websites you use and avoid clicking things that are not trusted. As for the passwords everyone should change them up every 3 months to keep your data safe. Another way to mitigate a data breach would be to check for updates on your operating system, and browsers. And allowing 2 step authentication (2FA)
The most important thing to take away from this would be to be vigilant and regularly update your passwords.
