SocialProof Security CEO and white-hat hacker Rachel Tobac developed a quiz to help determine whether you’re good to go on both fronts.

Calculate Your Results
Your info is on lockdown.
You would be a really obnoxious person for me to target as a cybercriminal, says Tobac. I would likely move on to somebody else. Corporations would also have a hard time tracking your every move online.
You could be doing better.
It would take me less than a day to hack you. Upgrade security and privacy across your devices to lower the chances of both getting hacked and your data being shared.
You would be my first target.
I’d be able to control your social-media accounts, know your location, and steal your money in less than 10 minutes. You’re more likely to be tracked, and your info is more likely to be sold. Read on.
