Why Online Privacy is more

Important than ever

 

In today's digital age, online privacy has never been more important. With every click, we leave behind a trail of personal data that can be exploited by cybercriminals, advertisers, or even governments. The rise of cyber threats, data breaches, and surveillance makes protecting our online presence crucial.

 

The Growing Threats

• Data breaches: Major corporations and even government agencies are frequent targets for hackers.  2024 saw the Mother Of All Breaches with 26 billion records exposed in a single Elastic Search data breach. https://www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/2024/01/the-mother-of-all-breaches-26-billion-records-found-online. Data from 2024 breaches included social security numbers, personal identifiable information and user login info for Canva, Twitter, Dropbox and more

• Tracking: Websites, apps, and even social media platforms track your every move online, gathering valuable data about your preferences and habits.

• Malware: Cybercriminals use sophisticated tools to exploit vulnerabilities in devices, stealing sensitive information like bank details and passwords.

 

 

 

How to Protect Yourself

• Use strong passwords: Avoid using the same password across multiple platforms and opt for passwords that combine letters, numbers, and symbols

• Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA): MFA adds an extra layer of security to your accounts, making it harder for hackers to gain unauthorized access

• Utilize a VPN: A VPN encrypts your internet connection, protecting your personal data from third-party trackers and hackers
