Digital Security 101

The sooner you recognize the signs of a hack, the better chance you have of shutting down hackers and scammers before they can do too much damage.

Your personal information is easily available online to anyone who knows where to look — unless you take these steps to secure your online identity.

Free Dark Web scanners can only do so much. Use these tools to dig deeper into the Dark Web and learn how at risk you are of scams and identity theft.

If you receive a Dark Web alert or data breach notification, you should act quickly to freeze your credit, update passwords, and look for signs of fraud

Dark Web monitoring services scan illicit and anonymous online marketplaces for your leaked data — but not all of them are worth paying for.

Signs of a hacked phone include reduced battery life, higher data usage, unusual device behavior, new apps, locked accounts, or receiving 2FA codes.

If you’ve been part of a data breach, there’s a good chance that your email can be found on the Dark Web — but is this something you need to worry about?
