I recently had an unpleasant situation. I received an email where someone claimed that they had hacked my account and demanded money for not publishing anything. At first I was confused, but then I realized that it was probably just an attempt to intimidate. Still, I wondered: how can I protect my data on the Internet so that I don't get into such stories? Does anyone know any effective ways or has anyone had similar experiences?

I have been in a similar situation and I understand how frustrating it can be. First of all, I would recommend enabling two-factor authentication on all accounts - this significantly increases the level of security. It is also worth using password managers to ensure that all passwords are unique and complex.

Yeah, it's really stressful, especially if you don't understand where the threat is coming from. I had a similar case when someone tried to threaten me by sending a fake message demanding money. I found an article - https://cyberpanel.net/blog/what-you-could-do-anytime-if-someone-is-blackmailing-you-online - that helped me figure out what to do. The first thing I did was change my passwords and activated two-factor authentication. Then I checked if my data had leaked into the network through one of the special services. It turned out that my old data had leaked, but the measures taken in time helped me to avoid the consequences. Now I try to be more careful about where and what data I leave.
