Part one · Protect yourself

01 · Lock your accounts

Four habits that stop most account takeovers. Start with your email account: it can reset all the others.

02 · Share less without noticing

Your phone and browser give away where you are, who you know and what you read. These settings keep most of it to yourself.

03 · Before you post or forward

Four quick checks before you hit send. Tick them once you've made them a habit.

Part two · Check what you see

04 · Check the source

No outlet is neutral, but some are open about who they are. Know who is talking before you weigh what they say.

05 · Check the claim

A few minutes of searching settles most viral claims.

06 · Check photos, videos and voices

Most fake images aren't AI: they're real photos from another time or place. Check those first.
