A privacy advocate advises people to read terms of service before accepting, use unique passwords with two-factor authentication, limit social media sharing, review privacy settings regularly, use VPNs and encrypted messaging, and stay informed about evolving threats. Following this advice comprehensively would require hours weekly that most people cannot spare. A breach victim is told they should have noticed the phishing email, should have used different passwords across sites, should have monitored their credit more carefully.
