A BreachFirst Field Guide · For creators

Five locks that shut the door on most creator hacks.

Cybersecurity for creators, in plain language. Your reach is a megaphone and a wallet, which is why you get hit harder than most. Do these five today; the full guide handles the rest.

The 60-second version

Five moves, under an hour total.

  • 01

    Give every account its own password

    High

    Use a password manager (Bitwarden, 1Password, Proton Pass). One leaked login stops becoming ten.

  • 02

    Ditch SMS two-factor

    High

    Turn on an authenticator app or a hardware key everywhere. A phone number can be stolen without anyone touching your phone.

  • 03

    Guard your email like the master key

    Critical

    Every password reset lands in your inbox. Give it your strongest 2FA, never SMS-only, and check for forwarding rules you didn't create.

  • 04

    Treat every “brand deal” file as a trap

    High

    Verify the sender on the brand's real website before you open or download anything. Urgency and too-good offers are the tell.

  • 05

    Log out everywhere; switch to passkeys

    Critical

    Kill old sessions and prune stale connected apps, so a stolen session cookie can't walk in already logged in.

Creators

Linus Tech Tips (15M subscribers) was hijacked and wiped in minutes, via stolen session cookies rather than a password.
