How to Protect Your Online Life From Hackers

In the 1990s the World Wide Web was born and brought with it an entirely new set of possibilities and threats. Spam was a major cause of email disruption and computer viruses wreaked havoc on corporate networks, and hacking was a huge issue. Hackers could steal your personal information and access your credit or banking online account, and even sell your personal information on the dark web for a lot of money.

Your online experience is more complex than ever. You’re on a smartphone, you shop online and bank online, you’re using Facebook and Twitter, and even your connected home appliances and IoT devices are tracking and monitoring your activities. Hackers can access all of this data, regardless if they’re an element of a criminal organization or a random person with a political agenda.

Create strong passwords for all your online accounts. Use a password manager to manage your passwords. Consider the use of two-step authentication, which provides an additional layer of security by asking you to enter a code sent to your phone or email address in addition to your password when logging into. Secure your hard drive to make it harder for hackers to access your private information even if they manage to get control of your computer or mobile device. Also, make sure to disable ‘run as administrator’ on your computer, don’t jailbreak or root your phones, and close your computer instead of leaving it running all day (all-time running can affect your device’s performance and opens the door to cyberattacks). You can minimize your risk by using the appropriate software for malware scanning as well as uninstalling and encryption of data.
