A reasonable guide to security practices
summary
Advice: use a password manager (example LastPass) to generate 80–100 character passwords, rotate them every few months, and avoid reuse; add MFA/2FA everywhere (claim: it stops ~99.9% of account takeovers). Use email aliases (Blur aliases) for throwaway signups, a VPN on open Wi‑Fi, and segmented home networks (guest/IoT VLANs) with per‑SSID limits. Run a network DNS blocker (Pi‑hole), keep verified backups, enable disk encryption (BitLocker/FileVault), use disposable VMs for risky files, and expect business email compromise losses in the billions per year.
