In the digital world, it is important to protect your online identity. Begin with passwords that are very strong and unique to each account and think about a password manager to save them safely. Implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) to introduce the much-needed additional layer of security that is not a password. Periodically watch your financial and social media accounts to notice suspicious account activity and identify threats early. To protect against these vulnerabilities that hackers use, maintain your software and devices updated. Also beware of phishing and do not share too much information about yourself on social media. It is also advisable to encrypt your Wi-Fi with a powerful encryption so that no one can access it. All these measures go a long way in minimizing the risk of identity theft.
