 TITLE: How Do You Protect Your Personal Information Online? CONTENT: 4\\. Close Online Accounts You No Longer Use\n-------------------------------------------\nIf you have a dormant former email address or social media account, shut it down. Any data stored there—sensitive information in your emails, photos or documents you sent as attachments, for instance—could be compromised in a security breach affecting those companies.\nIf you decide to invest in a password management tool, spending a few hours entering your current accounts and their associated passwords will help you identify ones you don't access often. The password manager will also end up serving as a database of all your online accounts, so you can review them once or twice a year and close unused ones. END
