🔐 MFA: Not Just for Work — Your Netflix Account Could Be a Trojan Horse

You wouldn’t leave your front door wide open with a sign that says “Free snacks inside,” right? So why do that with your email, social media, or cloud storage? Multifactor Authentication (MFA) is like adding a deadbolt to your digital life. It’s that extra “Are you really you?” check that keeps the bad guys out — even if they somehow guess your password (which, let’s be honest, might still be “password123”).

Here’s the kicker:
Hackers don’t care if it’s your personal Gmail or your work VPN. Once they’re in, they dig around like raccoons in a trash can — finding password resets, shared logins, or even access to your school or company network. Suddenly, your innocent Pinterest login becomes the gateway to a full-blown breach.
So turn on MFA everywhere — email, banking, gaming, streaming. Yes, even your fantasy football account. Because if your personal account gets hacked, it’s not just your problem anymore. It’s your family’s, your IT department’s, and possibly your entire school’s.

MFA: Because your cat photos shouldn’t be the reason your company ends up on the news.
