Ongoing digital hygiene
You can’t stop every company from getting breached. You can make sure one leak doesn’t own your whole digital life.
- Update OS and apps — most mass compromise still rides known bugs.
- Treat unexpected MFA prompts as an incident — if you didn’t log in, change the password.
- Use browser password alerts — Chrome/Edge/Firefox can warn on known leaked passwords.
- Minimize what you share — less stored PII means less damage when a vendor is popped.
- Separate email identities — shopping vs banking vs work reduces correlation after leaks.
- Follow trusted breach news — then verify on the company’s real domain, not social DMs.
- Recheck passwords periodically with our breach checker or your manager’s monitor.
