You don’t need to be a cybersecurity expert to protect yourself online. In fact, most hackers count on people not taking basic steps. So this weekend, why not level up your digital safety while sipping your coffee?

1. Update Your Software
Outdated apps are open doors. Take 10 minutes to update your phone, browser, and laptop. It’s like brushing your teeth—but for your devices.

3. Use a Password Manager
Stop using “123456” or your dog’s name. Download a free password manager and let it create strong, unique passwords for every site.

4. Check If You’ve Been Hacked
Visit haveibeenpwned.com to see if your email was part of a breach. If it was, change that password immediately.

5. Clean Up Old Accounts
Remember that forum you joined in 2012? Probably not. But your info might still be there. Search your inbox for old sign-up emails and start deleting accounts you no longer use.

That’s it—five simple steps that take less than an hour. And best of all, you’ll walk away with peace of mind and a safer digital footprint.
