Protect Personal Information Online yeah that phrase used to sound like something only paranoid people worried about but after one random night last year i kinda get it now. i was just chilling eating instant noodles scrolling my feed and bam this email pops up saying my bank account got flagged. heart dropped for a sec. stick around till the end if you wanna hear how i fixed my own mess and what still keeps me up sometimes.
TL;DR: Protecting personal information online means locking down your passwords using 2fa and not clicking random links so scammers and data brokers can't grab your stuff easy. i share what worked for me as a regular person no fancy tools just simple habits that actually help everyday folks and students stay safer online.
