DON'T GET HACKED: PROTECT YOUR DIGITAL LIFE
We have all been guilty of being blasé about our digital lives in some way. Many of us use the same password for multiple online accounts simply because it’s easier. Many of us grant access to certain features of our devices (the camera, the mic…) to apps regardless of whether they actually need it, simply to whizz through the setup process faster. And precious few of us actually give a fig about what personal information certain apps are storing of ours and how they intend to use it. But if anything positive came as a result of the recent Facebook/Cambridge Analytica scandal then it
prompted many of us to question exactly what we’re signing up to – or rather signing away – when we create online accounts and generally be a lot more protective of our personal data. This issue, you will find our complete guide to protecting all aspects of your digital life. From denying access to key personal info to monitoring what your kids are up to, it should help to sure up your own personal protection and lessen the chances of you being hacked.
