Back up your digital data, because if you keep everything on a laptop and a drive accidentally gets damaged, you’ll lose everything. Make sure the passwords you create are long and strong enough. Do not post live where you are on Instagram, because they will easily locate you with Geospy. Do not respond to emails or messages from a random username.
