So,Switzerland erotic it happened: You've been compromised. Maybe someone used AI to impersonate you, or your Instagram account was hacked, or, scarier yet, you've been a victim of doxxing.

Digital privacy and cybersecurity should be important for everyone. But when your livelihood — both creatively and financially — is dependent upon your digital reputation and your social media accounts remaining independent and safe, it's particularly crucial that you avoid scams and prioritize your digital health and safety.

During the panel, "Hacked: Creator Privacy & Security," Array gave a dozen tips for staying safe online in three main categories: physical protection from stalkers and doxxers, cyber hacking protection from ransomware and account takeovers, and brand reputation from deepfakes and impersonators. Here's some tips from Ambron on how to stay safe from doxxing and more online:

Physical protection: Minimize the information publicly available

1. Remove yourself from data brokers and people search sites

2. Google yourself and remove what you can

3. Scrub photos from real estate sites and Google

4. Check social media and delete any unnecessary personal information

5. Use a P.O. Box or virtual business address for fan mail and business inquiries

6. Never use personal phone or address on any material — digital or otherwise

Brand reputation: Be mindful of what you share

1. Avoid photos that reveal location clues, like license plates, house exteriors, street signs and addresses, or even landscapes and trees

2. Set Google Alerts for your name, user name, and brand phrases to monitor for deepfakes and impersonation

3. Reverse image search regularly

4. Verify all of your official accounts

Cyber hacking protection

1. Secure your most important accounts. You can do this by conducting a dark web scan, setting up two-factor authentication, use a password manager, and manage permissions for anyone with access to your accounts.

2. Use a separate email that you never share for financial accounts

3. Complete a Google Privacy check-up

4. Use an Ad-Blocker

5. Use secure platforms for browsing and searching like DuckDuckGo, Brave, or Tor.

If you are compromised or targeted, Ambron recommends notifying the platform immediately. He says you can report it quickly, use copyright or DCMA claims, leverage new laws like the Take It Down Act and warn your audience. But ultimately, Ambron says, it can be incredibly difficult to fix this once you are compromised, so taking preventative action is very important.
