Same bus. Same robbers.

But a much different outcome.

Everyone else handed over their real phone while she handed over a decoy.

The difference was a little extra preparation.

Your digital life works exactly the same way.

You don't need to be a cybersecurity expert. You just need to be a slightly harder target than the next person.

A password manager. Email aliases. A secondary phone number.

Add them up and you have a solid privacy and security strategy for your online life. And on your way to become a harder target.
