Don't be fooled by an app just because it entertains you yet takes all your personal information. Beware. Now other tech companies are saying how bad this app is! Listen. #verrado #BuckeyeAZ

If a company came to you and said “Fill in this form with all your personal information because we can sell it for $39,” would you do it? Well, you already do. This is how companies turn your data into money. I can remove your info. Contact me.

When you use incognito mode, make sure you actually understand what it does (and doesn’t) do to conceal your browsing.

After a breach, users rarely change their passwords, study shows. [ZDNet]

https://t.co/QPTSC5w5CO

Only a third of users changed their password following a data breach. Use a password manager like @Bitwarden to help create and maintain all your passwords.

[vt0wnt3ch @vtowntech]

I’ll wait for your answers.

[Tuta @TutaPrivacy]

It's a mystery why some people still believe they've got nothing to hide. The good news is that Tutanota makes it very easy to hide your private emails from prying eyes. Check it out: https://t.co/jK3o68UTaX 😀💪 #privacy #privacymatters #privacybydesign

[vt0wnt3ch @vtowntech]

I recommend @Bitwarden as your password manager.
