To combat growing cybercrime, experts like Luke Secrist advise "data fragmentation" - separating sensitive information across multiple encrypted platforms and storage solutions rather than centralizing it. Data fragmentation essentially means compartmentalizing personal data into discrete online accounts and platforms tailored to specific purposes instead of consolidating everything into a singular hub. For instance, they use unique email addresses for financial services, social media, shopping sites, etc. Similarly, employing varied and complex passwords everywhere prevents a breach on one site from impacting all your other data. Secrist also recommends protecting highly sensitive files via encryption and backing them up offline in multiple secure locations.
