Several days ago I faced a pretty old blogpost about our personal security in the web. I remember that I tried to remove my info from the web several years ago, and I think it made some effect because it reduced spam that I usually received and "cold emails" about different upcoming events.

Besides that I did:

  • started using LibreWolf browser
  • removed my personal info from my profiles on websites
  • removed my social media accounts that I don't use
  • started using MFA for all of my accounts
  • started using a password manager to store tokens, passwords, etc.
