âś… The critical difference between a dead laptop and a stolen one
âś… What to do in the first hour if your laptop goes missing
âś… How your downtime can grind your entire team to a halt
âś… The mindset shift needed to build a real continuity plan

âś… How free VPNs collect and sell your browsing history, habits, and behavioural data to brokers
✅ Why “no logs” marketing claims cannot be trusted without independent audits
âś… Why a free VPN is worse than other dodgy apps - because ALL your traffic flows through it
âś… Three practical steps: uninstall, change passwords, and budget for a paid provider
