This one is a no-brainer, and one that I really hope everyone is already using! If you are heavily invested into the Apple ecosystem, as I am, the number one thing you don't want hacked is your Apple ID! It has credit cards, addresses, purchase history, everything on it! Make sure you utilize two-factor authentication to ensure that if someone hacks your iCloud password, they still can't access your account unless they have another trusted device of yours. Additionally, if anyone else has anything to add, or change, please make yourself heard, I am not claiming to be a security expert, just someone who is aware! I am in no way taking any credit for any of these practices, I am merely promoting their use. This is all common knowledge/solutions that exist, I simply have compiled them into a list for convenience. Important Note: NOTHING I post here is mine.

It is my hope that by following some, or all of these points, you can feel a bit more safe while using your Mac!

Also, being the holiday season, I'm assuming many people might have gotten new Macs, so this is a good time to go through this. Throughout the years, in part thanks to some paranoia, I have collected a few practices that I think most people should follow. Many people ask me: 'I know Macs are safer than most PCs, but what extra steps can I take to ensure I am secure both online, and off?'.
