Not only for this topic but a perfect summation of the self-teaching mechanism on cybersecurity.
I’m constantly worried about someone taking my identity by hacking into my account. This post provided me with some helpful advice and how to make it more difficult for others to access my personal information when I do. It also offers guidance on keeping passwords secure, backing up your data, using anti-virus software, and knowing what to do if you fear being hacked. You don’t need any technical knowledge to understand it. I appreciate it since I spent reading and looking up stuff from this post is a fraction of the time and effort I’d have to spend attempting to reverse the harm caused by someone breaking into my computer or phone.

Amazing. This is the first article I’ve read about cybersecurity, I have a lot to learn.
