The following is a quick list of ways to protect your personal information online.

We asked a few friends to share their suggestions in the comments section. We will add more as time goes on, so please check back.
2.1. The best protection is with the use of strong passwords that are random. Make sure you use a combination that is relatively safe.2.2. Pay attention to how your password is used, especially if you use your password to log into Facebook, Twitter, or any other website that uses your password. If you use your password to access a site that is not a part of your current login, make sure to change your password immediately.
The best protection is to use a strong password. A weak one that you know is easy to guess is far from ideal. A stronger one that you’re sure is safe is far better than having your password fall into the wrong hands.
That said, the password you use should be unique, and it should be at least 8 characters long. For more on the topic of password security, check out this article by Matt McKean.
There are many other online security aspects that are equally important in protecting your account. A common one is the use of different passwords for different websites. If youre currently using the same password for your bank, credit cards, and online banking, then you should change that password as soon as it is discovered that someone has been hacking you and using your credit card information.
In this case, the hackers were exploiting a weakness in a bug that was only discovered after the breach. That said, you can also change your passwords on all the different websites you use on a regular basis. For example, I use different passwords for Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest. I choose a strong password for each site so that if a hacker gets hold of these passwords, they won’t be successful in taking over my accounts.
A security breach like this would be bad enough in itself, but it’s not good that you can’t change your passwords on different websites. If you have a credit card you can use to sign up for services, like a credit or debit card, you probably won’t want to change that, but you probably can change your passwords on other sites that use that same card. I know that my PayPal account has a security bug where it asks for a password that I’m not sure I know.
I would suggest that you arent aware of a security bug where you dont have a good password. It is possible for hackers to make a password guess. A hacker can create a fake login with your email address and other information, and then log in to your account using your username and password that you are not aware of.
