I am a bit paranoid when it comes to security. I have a mechanical Firewall, with a proxy server, on an all Macintosh network. I also get iPhone alerts when someone tries to connect to my WiFi the alert actually gives me a MAC address.
I found that nothing beats a notebook under lock and key for username and password security. Did you ever learn how your accounts were hacked? That will go a very long way to preventing a repeat hack. For example, if you are using simple passwords, a brute force attack would be able to hack your accounts, but most hackers use social skills to get the information like a fishing scam in your inbox.
The really sad thing is no matter how careful a person tries to be we have all clicked where we should not have.

I was using simple passwords...that I know. at that stage, I was pretty much clueless about security and the kind of threats that are present online...Not that I'm an expert now, but at least I know enough to be more careful...lol!
Wow! It sounds like you've got a great setup for security. That's awesome. I'm very security conscious and alert in the physical world due to my experience as an ex-cop and personal experience, but on the internet scene, I still have a lot to learn though...
The internet is tricky, but luckily the information is readily available and free 👍 For me it was a no-brainer and because of my business type I received a nice discount on my business insurance.
