How to Protect Yourself Online

After the 2025 breach, it's more important than ever to defend your accounts. Here’s how to stay safe:

1. Use Strong, Unique Passwords

Never reuse passwords. Use 12+ characters with letters, numbers, and symbols. Consider passphrases like Orange+Rain!1982.

2. Turn On Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Add an extra layer of protection. Authenticator apps (TOTP) are safer than SMS codes and take seconds to set up.

3. Don’t Click Suspicious Links

Phishing emails and SMS messages often imitate real services. Always go directly to the official website.

4. Use a Password Manager

Free tools like Bitwarden or paid ones like 1Password help you generate and store strong passwords securely.

5. Monitor for Leaks

Use breach checking tools or subscribe to dark web monitoring. Get alerts if your credentials show up in future leaks.
