home address.

Marketers love to know all about you, and so do hackers. Both can learn a lot from your browsing
and social media usage.

You wouldn't choose to walk through a dangerous neighborhood—don't visit dangerous
neighborhoods online.

14. Adopting a safer mindset
Computers can often give us a false sense of security.
Here's one way to think about it:
Treat the Internet as you would a shopping mall.
You shouldn't be afraid to use the Internet, but
remember that it comes with many of the same risks
you'd face in the real world.
17. Never use personal information
such as your name, birthday, user name, or email address. This type of information is often
publicly available, which makes it easier for someone to guess your password.
Use a longer password
Your password should be at least six characters long, although for extra security it should
be even longer.
Don't use the same password for each account.
If someone discovers your password for one account, all of your other accounts will be
vulnerable.
Tips for creating strong
passwords

and lowercase letters.
