Five ways to protect your online life before it's too late

The last part of our Collapse Life toolkit is this quick-start guide, with essential steps to lock down your info, boost your cyber smarts, and stay one step ahead in a hyper-connected world.

In an increasingly chaotic and connected world, one area people often overlook is digital safety.

Whether it’s identity theft, surveillance, or you’re just tired of being bombarded by spam and scams, protecting your digital life is part of protecting your real life. That’s why we’ve created an easy-to-follow infographic based on insights from The Digital Prepper, a high-level engineer who spent over 15 years working at the intersection of IT and emergency preparedness.

Why digital prepping matters

We prep our homes, our pantries, even our cars. But when it comes to our digital lives, most of us walk around with gaping holes in our defenses — a fact that cyber criminals bank on. From weak passwords to outdated software to blindly trusting whatever’s trending, it’s all too easy to leave ourselves exposed.

The good news? With a few simple actions, you can claim back control.
