So often these hacks start with a stolen password or in some cases the password is guessed or brute forced due to a poor password. Individuals can avoid almost all hacks if they just do a few simple things:

1. Use a password manager.
2. Create long, unique passwords.
3. Never reuse a password anywhere.
4. Use some form of 2fa on important accounts.
5. Never click on any links in an email or text message.
