October is #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth and in a world where data breaches and privacy invasions are increasing, safeguarding your personal information is more critical than ever. ⠀ As Matt Johansen, CEO at Vulnerable U, suggests - creating an alias, throwaway email, and Google Voice number can be a game-changer. Here’s why: 👇🏼 ⠀ - Reduce Exposure to Data Brokers - every time you give out your real phone number, email, or name, data brokers collect and sell that information. By using an alias, you disrupt that chain. ⠀ - Limit Vulnerability to Data Leaks - many services don’t need your actual details. Protect sensitive information by using a throwaway email or Google Voice number for non-legally binding interactions. ⠀ This is an easy way to safeguard your data and reduce your digital footprint.🛡️ ⠀ #CyberSecurityAwareness #PrivacyMatters #ProtectYourData #PII #PersonalInformation
