KEThis Digital Cleanup Day, take control of the clutter that could be putting your data at risk. Old accounts, reused passwords, unsecured files and other bad cyber habits create easy entry points for cybercriminals – and most people don’t realize how exposed they are until it's too late.
Start with the basics:
1️⃣ Replace weak and reused passwords with strong, unique ones.
👉 If you’re using the same password across multiple accounts, one breach can unlock them all. Create strong, unique passwords for every account and avoid predictable patterns or personal details.
2️⃣ Delete accounts you no longer need.
👉 Old shopping sites, trial subscriptions and other dormant accounts can become liabilities if they’re breached. Don’t just uninstall an app, close them down completely. Fewer accounts mean fewer opportunities for attackers to enter.
3️⃣ Store your credentials in a secure password manager, like Keeper Security.
👉 Stop relying on spreadsheets, notes apps or memory. A dedicated password manager generates complex passwords, stores them securely and makes it easy to use them without compromising convenience.
4️⃣ Turn on multi-factor authentication everywhere.
👉 Even the strongest password can benefit from a second layer of protection. Enable MFA everywhere to prevent unauthorized access – even if credentials are exposed.
5️⃣ Review file-sharing permissions and remove public links.
👉 Check who has access to shared folders and documents. Remove public links, revoke access that’s no longer needed and audit third-party apps connected to your accounts.
Good cyber hygiene isn’t a once-a-year activity – it's an ongoing effort. A few intentional steps today can prevent future breaches.
