Protect your Personal Information
Last year, about 47% of American adults (110 million people) were hacked in some way.
It's sad really. It is not easy to avoid hackers, but you can lessen the blow by protecting your personal information. Use different passwords, change those passwords often, don't post about where you are all the time on Facebook, don't download shady thing online. These are simple, yet many people have problems with it. This flyer has been created to give a basic understanding that your information isn't safe and anyone can access it unless you do something about it.
