My friend’s Instagram got hacked.
She had 27k followers.
Then, get this, the hackers messaged her on WhatsApp asking for a ransom.
There are people out there who actually do this.
This is simply to say:
- Protect your accounts
- Never give out passwords
- Choose extra security options
Pretend like all of your accounts just got hacked and you lost everything you’ve built.
You lost all of your connections and you had no way of communicating with anyone on social media.
If you really want to feel that reality, delete all social media apps on your phone for the next week.
See how it feels.
Then, imagine you finally got them back after a ton of back-and-forth and pain-in-the-butt customer service interactions.
What steps would you take to prevent that from ever happening again?
Do that now.
