Statistics show that 4.66 billion people use the internet, that's more than half of the world population. The internet has become a huge part of daily lives and it's important to keep our information secure and protected.

Installing a VPN (virtual private network) on your devices is a great way to keep your information protected. It allows data to be shared and received privately. There are various different VPN networks that you can use, click here for recommendations.

Password protection is also a vital step. Using different passwords for different sites is a great way to keep your accounts secure. I know what you're thinking, "I can barely remember one password, how am I supposed to remember multiple?" The more accounts a password is used on, the more it's used on the internet, the easier it is to be hacked. Rotating through two or three might avoid identity theft.

These are only a few suggestions. And remember, be careful what you share online. Once it's out there, it's not always easy to erase.
