In a few words
Most hacked websites are broken into because of weak passwords or old software. A few simple habits protect you. Use a strong, different password, turn on two step login, delete what you do not use and keep everything updated. That stops almost every common attack.
Words explained
Two step login: a second check, such as a code on your phone, as well as your password.
Password manager: an app that remembers all your passwords safely.
