Adult streaming website leaks 11 million emails and private chats

Protecting your private information from hackers is difficult enough, and the last thing you need is to have it leaked from a careless website. That's exactly what happened recently when an adult streaming site left its server unprotected, leaving millions of users' personal data exposed for anyone to see. The result of this exposure is frightening and could be costly to victims.

Kim answers your questions

You asked and Kim answered! Got a question for Kim? Email her here.

My phone is ringing off the hook

Q: "Robocalls slowed down for a while, but now they're back. My phone won't stop ringing. I've tried apps and nothing works. How do I stop them for good?"

A: I hate robocalls and junk mail. They're often a sign of higher identity theft risk. Why? Because it means your private information is on marketing lists, easily available for purchase. Protecting your identity has never been more crucial. I use Identity Guard for the best identity theft protection, and now it's solving the root causes of privacy issues.

For a limited time, Identity Guard is giving you its junk mail and robocall stopper add-on for free with the purchase of an Identity Guard plan. Plans start at less than $7 a month. Get 33% off at IdentityGuard.com/Kim.


Safe internet on the road

Q: "Soon I will be traveling in an RV. What is the best way to have secure Wi-Fi access? What is a VPN and do I need it?"

A; You nailed it. If you're going to connect to public networks, you need a VPN or virtual public network. Public networks give hackers a way in to your devices, and you can't risk that. ExpressVPN encrypts your data, keeps your online activity private and hides your location from prying eyes — plus it's fast!

I bet you're looking for a simpler life on the road, but this is one thing you can't go without. Visit ExpressVPN.com/Kim for a 30-day free trial, plus 3 months free with a 12-month subscription.


I'm tired! Help

Q: "I listened to your podcast with Dr. Laura about staying sane during the pandemic. I'm managing my stress better now, but my sleep is awful. Are there any apps or tricks you can recommend?"

A: Apps and sleep gadgets may help a little, but for me, the biggest part of a good night's sleep is my mattress. I spent enough years on lumpy mattresses that I can tell you with confidence: An upgrade will change your sleep. I love my Purple mattress and wake up feeling refreshed. Every Purple mattress comes with free shipping, free returns and a risk-free 100-night trial.

For a limited time, get $150 off any order of $1,500 or more. Go to Purple.com/Kim and use promo code KIM.
