8. Personal Computers
This one’s a no-brainer, but it’s an important one to keep on your reminder list, especially as you consider ways to protect yourself from hacks.

Updating your computer software when prompted can keep hackers from snaking their way through vulnerabilities in outdated programs and accessing private information on your computer.
