Day 16 - Cloud Account Security
☁️ Cloud Account Security: Protect Your Digital Assets
Today, our important files, documents, and memories are stored in cloud platforms like Google Drive, Dropbox, and iCloud. While these services provide convenience, your data is only as secure as your account protection.
Many users assume cloud providers handle all security — but attackers often target weak passwords, reused credentials, and unprotected accounts to gain access.
Once compromised, hackers can:
- Steal or leak sensitive data
- Lock you out of your own account
- Use your storage for malicious activities

⚡ Key Takeaways
- Your cloud security depends on your habits
