Protect yourself from hackers
Your Mac and iPhone store a lot of personal information. If you’re not careful, your devices could be hacked, and all of your data could be stolen. See how you can protect yourself from hackers.
Strengthen your passwords
Set strong passwords for every site, and don’t use one password for all your accounts. Of course, you won’t be able to remember all the passwords. So take advantage of the Secrets password manager to store all of them in one place.
If one account gets breached and your password gets exposed, chances are hackers won’t be able to break into your other accounts.
Activate two-factor authentication
Two-factor authentication means that hackers have no way of signing in to your Apple services without your knowledge. They’ll also need access to one of your Apple devices. With Step Two, you can secure access to all of your important accounts.
The app collects all your two-step codes in a nice and simple interface.
Perform regular security checks
Two-factor authentication is an important security measure, but you need a top-notch data monitoring tool to protect all of your accounts. Pareto Security keeps track of your security settings and makes sure you have the best protection enabled.
Here’s how to use Pareto Security to run security checks:
From the menu bar, open Pareto Security
Click Run checks
Review the results. Everything that has an orange cross next to it should be fixed. If you don’t know how to resolve the issue, you can click on it and get step-by-step instructions from Pareto Security.
Remove all the unwanted records
Delete sensitive information like browsing history, autofill forms, and chat logs so that if your Mac is compromised by hackers, they’ll get access to less information that can be used for identity theft. CleanMyMac’s privacy scan is a great way to ensure that all this sensitive data is deleted.
Use a reliable VPN service
If you use public Wi-Fi, install ClearVPN to protect your data from being intercepted by hackers. Your data will be encrypted, and your devices will be much harder to target.
