Everything you need to protect your Black Friday deliveries from porch pirates

November 27, 2021

I’m going to guess you did some Black Friday shopping and scored some great online deals. You probably plan to pick up a few more sales on Monday too! But online shopping does come with one major downside—deliveries to your doorstep.

The worst thing that could happen is to buy something on sale for just the right price, only to have the package stolen from your porch before you get home. That’s why I put together everything you need to prevent porch pirates. Some of the suggestions are even free tools you can use right now! Check it out in the top story!

Other Highlights:

• This top password list proves people use dumb passwords way too often—and you’d be smart to use a password manager instead.
• …and as always, a lot more!
