Protecting a Household, Not Just a Device
Identity theft reach the least technical person on the least protected screen. How to cover a whole home — including older relatives and the TV — without becoming everyone's IT department.
The weakest screen sets the level
Protection applied per person tends to follow interest: the person who cares configures three devices beautifully and nobody else is covered at all.
Household-level protection inverts that. Every screen inherits the same blocking, including the ones nobody thinks about — the TV, the old tablet, the console browser.
Attackers do not target your best-protected laptop. They target the tablet your dad uses for email.
A ten-minute household audit
List every device that opens a web page. Include TVs, consoles and anything a visiting relative uses.
Check that each one gets automatic updates, then confirm each person's email account has two-factor.
Agree one rule everybody can remember: nobody acts on a link in a message — you open the app instead.
Talking about it
Fear does not teach. Showing someone a real identity text and walking through the four tells does, and takes about ninety seconds.
Make it safe to be caught out. The costliest identity theft are the ones people hide for a day out of embarrassment; the first hour is when a bank can still stop the payment.
