How do you protect yourself online?

Colleen W

Hey. Since it is Cyber Security Awareness month I've decided to take extra steps in defending myself online, especially while working in public places. I've researched various articles like such (medium.com/@douglasethando/cyber-security-awareness-month-top-practices-for-next-level-privacy-and-anonymity-906aa9be5aa4)and such and gathered many tips. So I want to know what you guys and gals are doing to protect yourself? I use HTTPS Everywhere, Privacy Badger and uBlock Origin plugins, NordVPN with CyberSec turned on, ProtonMail for mail, use Incognito mode very frequently. I think I'll keep my files in a cloud-based storage too. And of course 2 step authentification where possible. What do you use? I'm curious.

Hi Colleen,

If you have a website, you can scan it at https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search to ensure your website is free from malware and get rid of it before Google bans your visitors accessing to your website.

Hope that helps.

I use a VPN, antivirus software, and a firewall to keep my data safe. In addition, I always use complicated, frequently-changed passwords for all of my online accounts.
