Tech and Online Safety
Change your locks, phone numbers, usernames, passwords (consider using fingerprint or face recognition for accounts or apps), and all other means of communication
Look for spikes in data usage which may indicate that a monitoring software has been placed on your device. Consider replacing your device(s) if you think the abuser is monitoring your activity or had access to it in the past
If you suspect a keylogging program (records everything you type with your keyboard) has been placed on your device:
a. First, backup your device (iCloud or Google Sync)
b. Complete a factory reset. For an Apple device go to: Settings > General > Reset, and tap “Erase all content and settings”. For an Android go to: Settings > System > Reset Options > Erase all data (factory reset) > Reset phone or Reset tablet and confirm “Erase everything”
c. Download antiMalware for the device that will check for future keyloggers and always keep your device’s operating software updated
Go through privacy settings in any apps and online accounts and confirm that other devices or accounts aren’t connected to yours (delete any apps you’re unfamiliar with)
Turn off device-to-device access like Bluetooth while not in use
Protect your location, check privacy settings on all tech. Consider cameras/ audio devices
