What can be the cost of being distracted in life and on the internet?

Every 2 seconds someone is a victim of identity theft and every 39 seconds a cyberattack occurs.

But, there is a greater and safer way to live, by becoming aware of what your daily habits are and learning to transform the technological world from a "distraction" to a tool to enhance your life.

In the Cyber Mindful Podcast, you'll find practical tips and strategies for maintaining a healthy balance between your online and offline life.
