Set aside an hour, grab a coffee, sit down, and complete the following:  

  • Change your passwords on all your banking and shopping apps, work systems, and so on – keep them safe in a password manager app 
  • Set up multi-factor authentication on everything that lets you 
  • Sign up to review your credit score (using ClearScore or similar, which is free) 
  • Review your bank account and end any direct debits, standing orders, or recurring payments that are no longer needed 

Remember, the smaller your personal data footprint, the lower the chance of fraud.
