Rec. #551: How to Spring Clean Your Digital Clutter to Protect Yourself



What: This compact article from Wired goes beyond the most obvious to cover outdated devices, email purging, and defunct accounts.

Representative quote: "The point isn't to part with data that is personally meaningful or useful. The goal is to pare down what you have so if your data is ever compromised hackers aren't getting copies of your friend's son's leg x-rays—complete with name, birthday, and social security number—for no reason."

How to get it: "How to Spring Clean Your Digital Clutter to Protect Yourself" appeared in Wired last May.
