If you'd like to know that, 4 year question.

There are lots of ways to secure yourself or ruin your security.

Use common sense, strong passwords, trust nobody and keep everything updated.

Thanks for the fast response! Do you know any security focused alternatives to common things Ex. Email Services?

I'd probably start with a secure password manager and VPN, easiest things to get you protected quickly.

EDIT : Honestly, as root said, most of it is common sense, if you're going to be clicking on fishy links all the time, you're screwing yourself over. Most of it is just knowing what's actually being downloaded/opened etc. on your PC.

Never use sim card 2fa, don't use vpns use a tor network/browser, have a unique password for each account (even tho passwords are slowly becoming obsolete), if you do use 2fa then use a 2fa app, try not to use google or any of their services (even to that's pretty much impossible these days), use a linux device and when you do shady stuff online use a whonix virtual machine, don't trust anti viruses but instead juts use common sense and don't open links and download files from any un trusted sources, even if a friend sents you a file be weary of it

Keep your device software updated
