Let's talk about #CyberHygiene:

You have to develop a certain level of "Spidey sense", and it can be as simple as realizing that you need a second opinion before clicking a link. You don't have to be subject matter experts; just have to know enough to recognize when you should ask someone else. #StopAndThink

People sometimes have the mistaken notion that they aren't targets for bad actors because they aren't famous and don't have a high net worth. But that's simply not the case today. Anyone with any online presence is a potential target to attackers. That means everyone needs to know their #cyberhygiene

Basic cyber hygiene is essential and easy. Steps include:

:finger_point: Be more stringent about the info you share online

:finger_point: Review and adjust privacy settings

:finger_point: Use strong and unique passwords (I recommend using diceware passphrases)

:finger_point: Enable two-factor authentication

:finger_point: Monitor online presence

:finger_point: Learn about data brokers

:finger_point: Secure all devices

:finger_point: Be skeptical of unsolicited requests

:finger_point: Regularly audit third-party apps

:finger_point: Monitor credit reports

:finger_point: Separate personal and professional identities

With #CyberSecurity, a little can go a long way to protecting yourself, your family/friends, and even your employer. Again, you don't need to be an expert, you just need to slow down and think. Be a human lol. And in the #CyberWorld, trust nothing, question everything.
