Digital Security 101

Requesting a credit freeze is one of the best things you can do to protect against identity fraud — but there are some downsides that you should consider.

Stalkerware — or spyware — gives hackers or abusive partners an excessive amount of access to your devices and data, and needs to be dealt with carefully.

Identity Guard is one of the original (and best) identity theft protection services — but you still might be better off with one of these alternatives.

Data breaches and AI have helped scammers become more convincing — but there are still common red flags that can warn you if you’re being scammed.

As soon as you know your personal data is compromised, change your passwords, enable 2FA, freeze your credit, and monitor your accounts for fraud.

You may be getting spam calls because your number has likely been leaked in data breaches, sold by data brokers, or flagged as active by scammers.
