How to protect your accounts

If a hacker can get hold of your password, they can use your mailbox, play games on your account in your place, place orders in your name, post something on your Facebook, etc...

This is exactly what happened to John. Read his testimony.

That's why you need to keep cybercriminals out.

Using strong passwords is necessary, but passwords alone do not protect you enough. Passwords get stolen or guessed by scammers. Or they steal them with a ruse (they ask for them with an excuse on the phone, or convince you to enter them on a fake website). The chances of one of your passwords being visible on the internet right now are pretty high.

To better protect your accounts, you need to do take a different approach.  Forget your old passwords and follow these tips:

• Use two-factor authentication (2FA)
• Use different passwords and store them in a password vault
• Keep your passwords secret
• Use long passwords

You will notice strange activity on your account: you’re sending messages to friends without you knowing it, messages and pictures start to appear that you have not posted yourself, etc. This means that your account has probably been hacked by someone.

Here, you can find out how to regain control of your account.

Do the test.
