Protecting yourself online
Short, practical guides for everyone — not for security professionals. Written in Kurdish, Arabic and English, because most of this exists in neither of the first two.
Someone has got into my account
Do these things in this order. The first one matters most.
How to tell a fake message
Almost every scam has the same shape. Once you see the shape, you stop falling for it.
Passwords you do not have to remember
The problem was never that your password is weak. It is that you use it twice.
The second lock
One setting that makes a stolen password almost useless.
When the person watching you knows you
Most tracking is not done by strangers. It is done by someone who had your phone in their hand.
Someone is threatening to share photos of me
You are not the first and you did nothing unusual. There is a script for this, and you can get off it.
The calls that target older people
They are not after the naive. They are after anyone they can hurry.
Children online, without spying on them
The thing that protects a child is being able to tell you. Everything else is second.
