*Yet another reason to engage your brain & store NOTHING on the Internet.*


Better is to engage the brain to analyse the real threats and contrameasures without making emotional decisions.

One thing is the personal password policy. Do not reuse passwords and change them at least after any revealed pw break.
Note also the responsible sites do not store passwords at all, but password hashes, generated by one way process.

Other thing is the personal data policy.
Many of data stored on internet are intentionally public without need of any password. Many of other data can use 2 step protection, with their own encryption.
