Episode notes

There's only really four main consumer credit agencies the us. At least. There's experion, equafax, transunion, in novis. You can go to these websides and you can put something called a security freeze on your account. For example, if your credit was hacked and then your credit score went weigh down because someone didn't pay off your balances, you may not be able to get a house that you want.

We're all familiar with how to increase physical security – locking our doors, paying attention to our surroundings, putting valuables in a safe, etc. – but what about our digital security?

With an increasingly digital world comes a less perceptible risk – the risk of having your information hacked and exploited by someone with whom you will never see or interact.

In this episode, Steph and Cal explore the basics of digital security, the risks involved, where many people go wrong, and what you should consider doing at a minimum to move from "at-risk" to "safer" with your digital information.
