Personal vs Private information
Learn about what information hackers want and how they use it
Personal - These are things publicly availlable for people to see, such as name, favorite things, etc. Someone could gather this information and pretend to be you to get private information
Private - Things that should not be public. Your SSN, bank information, passwords, etc. If any of these are compromised you should see about changing the information asap
These are a part of your digital footprint. Information about you that you leave online that can also be easily found by anyone looking for it. If you have a big social media presence then your digital footprint is likely large.
How to stay safe?
An effective way to stop malicious things like remote access or spyware on your computer is to immediately disconnect it from the internet
VPN - A Virtual Private Network will mask your location while you use the internet so nobody will see where you're from. A commonly used paid service is NordVPN.
AdBlock - A very effective AdBlock to consider is "ublock origin" it blocks even youtube ads and is very helpful to remove malicious ads from websites. This can simply be added as an extension to your browser.
