🧠 Ever heard of a “data broker”?
They buy, sell, and swap your personal info—phone number, home address, even salary ranges.

At BiyteLüm, we fight back. We erase what they shouldn’t have in the first place.

What’s worth automating in cyber hygiene, and what’s not https://www.helpnetsecurity.com/2025/04/29/automating-cyber-hygiene/ #authentication #cybersecurity #cyberhygiene #credentials #automation #enterprise #Don'tmiss #1Password #passwords #Features #Hotstuff #BitSight #patching #strategy #Swimlane #News #CISO #tips

#CyberHygiene is an important topic, now more than ever, and even more so as time goes on, especially in the new-world of #AI. So, let's have a quick chat!

I talk about this in my #AwarenessTrainings that I put together for my company. People sometimes have the mistaken notion that they aren't targets for bad actors because they aren't famous and don't have a high net worth, or don't have a high-profile job. But that's simply not the case today. Anyone with any online presence is a potential target to attackers. That means everyone needs to know their cyber hygiene. So what does that look like?

Basic cyber hygiene is essential and easy. Steps include (extra details below):
➡️ Be more stringent about the info you share online 📅
➡️ Review and adjust #privacy settings 🔒
➡️ Use strong and unique #passwords 🗝️
➡️ Enable two-factor #authentication 🗝️
➡️ #Monitor online presence 👀
➡️ Learn about data brokers ⬅️
➡️ Secure all devices 🔐
➡️ Be skeptical of unsolicited requests 😯
➡️ Regularly audit third-party apps with access to your accounts ❗
➡️ Monitor credit reports 💰
➡️ Separate personal and professional identities 👬

I go into A LOT more detail about each point in my recent blog post (TL;DR for :mastodon: lol). Check it out here, and let me know your thoughts or questions!

Let's talk about #CyberHygiene:
You have to develop a certain level of "Spidey sense", and it can be as simple as realizing that you need a second opinion before clicking a link. You don't have to be subject matter experts; just have to know enough to recognize when you should ask someone else. #StopAndThink

People sometimes have the mistaken notion that they aren't targets for bad actors because they aren't famous and don't have a high net worth. But that's simply not the case today. Anyone with any online presence is a potential target to attackers. That means everyone needs to know their #cyberhygiene

Basic cyber hygiene is essential and easy. Steps include:

:finger_point: Be more stringent about the info you share online
:finger_point: Review and adjust privacy settings
:finger_point: Use strong and unique passwords (I recommend using diceware passphrases)
:finger_point: Enable two-factor authentication
:finger_point: Monitor online presence
:finger_point: Learn about data brokers
:finger_point: Secure all devices
:finger_point: Be skeptical of unsolicited requests
:finger_point: Regularly audit third-party apps
:finger_point: Monitor credit reports
:finger_point: Separate personal and professional identities

With #CyberSecurity, a little can go a long way to protecting yourself, your family/friends, and even your employer. Again, you don't need to be an expert, you just need to slow down and think. Be a human lol. And in the #CyberWorld, trust nothing, question everything.

Gute Passwörter sind wie gute Snacks: Sie sollten vielfältig und nahrhaft sein! 🍪🔒 Ein paar Tipps:
1. Je länger, desto besser! Denk an einen Satz aus deinem Lieblingsbuch. „Ich liebe es, in der Bibliothek zu lernen!“ wird zu „IlE!dB2l!“.
2. Füge ein paar Zahlen und Symbole hinzu. „Kaffee ist mein Lebenselixier!“ wird zu „K@ff33!sM3inL3b3ns3l!x!r“.
3. Vermeide Namen oder „123456“. Das ist wie eine offene Tür! 🪟

Mit diesen Tipps schützt du deine digitalen Schätze! 💻✨ #CyberHygiene #Studium
