Subscribe to notifications about account data leaks

You can get ahead of scammers in 2024 if you use services that scan the latest leaks and see whether they contain your data. Advanced password managers also include this feature and quickly notify users if any of the saved logins or passwords are found in the recent data leaks.

Get a VPN for more privacy

VPNs are now a must-have for anyone who wants to stay safe and private online. Modern VPN solutions meet all user needs, for example, they are easy to use, provide high traffic speeds and keep personal data private.

Transfer documents to a safe place

You can create a folder on your computer or upload your documents to a password-protected cloud – but both of these options are potentially insecure and can lead to the loss of personal data.
