Abstract: 
The internet has revolutionized communication, work, and life, offering unprecedented opportunities and conveniences. However, as our dependence on the digital world grows, so do the risks to our personal information, privacy, and security. Cyberattacks, online harassment, and cyberstalking are no longer rare occurrences—they have become everyday threats that anyone can face. Understanding and implementing robust cybersecurity measures is essential for protecting yourself in this increasingly connected world. This article explores effective ways to safeguard against cyberattacks, respond to online harassment, prevent cyberstalking, and remove your personal information from websites that share it without your consent.
