Why You Need This
Precautionary measures are the best way to protect your online banking accounts from theft or phishing hacks. Secure email login and passwords across all of your accounts are the two most important steps to drastically increase the security of your financial assets from being accessed by cybercriminals. It is paramount first to increase the difficulty for someone to access your primary email, which we recommend doing by using a Yubikey. Having an identity theft solution that monitors your credit and financial activity is the next best way to ensure no bad actors have gained control of your personal information.
These are our favorite solutions to protect you from cybercriminals:
