Why should you care? (expanded)

Money that can be taken away from you

This area is the one we think of most. You have money in your bank accounts and you don't want someone to take it. You have credit cards and you don't want to buy a bunch of things with it and stick you with the bill.

But we often forget a few side doors that expose us.

Threat vectors:

Bank Account

Credit Cards Paypal/Venmo/Etc. Stores

Financial Damage that Can be Done to You

Places where you cold be obligated money

Your Data That Is Online

Think through all of the websites you use and about what you have stored in them.
- Your email
- Photos
- Music and playlists
- Documents
- Anything you've stored in Dropbox, Google Drive
- Your purchase history.

Remember, it's not just you that you are protecting. We are intertwined with our friends, coworkers, and loved ones. These common sense steps are worthwhile for the value they offer you, but if you don't do them for yourself, do them for the people in your life. Because they are vulnerable through your vulnerabilities. If you don't protect your email account and someone posts every email you have online, it's not just you who might be embarrassed or hurt. It's also all of those people in your inbox.

Think through each of the above and any other data that you have somewhere out there.

First - For any of that, think about how bad it will be, how much you will care if someone was able to go in and delete it. To take it away from you and you could

each of that

Your Money

Financial Risk

Your devices:
Your laptop and phones.
The laptops and phones of people you share control with.
