If you haven't set up a reasonably robust imphi structure, for someone to get a lot of your information and to start using it in harmful ways. I would just encourage people almost make a list of anything that's really important to you. And i've never personally had my identity stolen, knock on wood, but i know people who have,. It's caused all kinds of issues down the road that are very annoying to deal with, and can disrupt your life in in very strange ways.

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.
