Privacy violations arise not only from mass data breaches but from careless Internet use by individuals.
Use an email address that does not contain your last name or location, or even your first name if it is unique.
Never choose a user name on any site that includes your first and last name, or either if they are uncommon, or your location unless you live in a large city. THINK before choosing a user name.
Maintain a credit card with a very low limit for ordering online.
Don’t fill out any profile on a social media website.
Turn off your device when not in use, and lock it with a secure password.
Do not reuse any passwords, especially with sensitive sites, like banking or healthcare.
Turn on private browsing.
Use a password vault that generates and remembers strong and unique passwords.
Make up “false” answers when setting up password security questions.
Use hard-wired Internet connections when possible.
