Hello.

Every day, when I open the news or social media, there isn’t a day that goes by without seeing topics about personal information leaks at major companies.

While thinking “Not again…”, don’t you sometimes feel like it’s someone else’s problem, or give up thinking that the only countermeasure you can think of is making your password more complex?

This time, as an extra edition, I will explain in detail why neglected accounts are dangerous and the steps for digital decluttering of accounts that you can start in 5 minutes from today.
