of your online accounts, one of the first steps you can take is to
change your password.
Protect your personal information
Exercise caution when sharing personal information such as your
name, home address, phone number, and email address online. To
take advantage of many online services, you will inevitably have to
provide personal information in order to handle billing and shipping of
purchased goods. Since not divulging any personal information is
rarely possible, the following list contains some advice for how to
