Center for Health Communication
Run a “Digital Safety DiscoTech” with our DIY guide
Introduction
Action items
Search for yourself and set up Google alerts
Discover what someone can learn about you through a few simple searches.
Set up two-factor authentication (2FA)
With 2FA, a stolen password alone won’t be enough to hack your account.
Make data deletion requests
If someone wants to find your home address, popular data brokers offer an easy place to start. Make data deletion requests or pay for a service to do it for you.
Change some passwords
If you change your passwords regularly, it’s less likely a leaked password will work if someone tries to use it.
Celebrate your progress
Getting comfortable with digital safety tools is a big deal. And that calls for acknowledgement of a job well done!
Make alternate contact info
The less you give out your personal contact info, the fewer potential leaks you might have to deal with.
