A couple of months ago, I received an email from my social media account saying someone tried to log in from another country. I was really worried because I use that account all the time to message friends and store photos.
Right away, I changed my password to a much stronger one with numbers and special symbols. I also enabled two-factor authentication, so now I get a text message code whenever I log in on a new device.
Since that happened, I’ve been a lot more careful online. I don't use the same password for different websites anymore, and I regularly check my privacy settings. Overall, I learned that taking a few quick steps can really keep your data safe.
