It’s never been easier for spammers and scammers to get access to your personal data, and this is particularly dangerous during tax season.

With data brokers providing easy access to your phone number, email address, physical address – and even sensitive data like your social security number – tax season can be peak time for fraud. Fortunately, there’s a simple way to reduce the risk.

Tax season brings more than just paperwork. It brings a surge in scams, and retirees are squarely in the crosshairs. Criminals know that older Americans are often expecting refunds, may be less familiar with digital red flags, and frequently have stable income and good credit worth stealing.

The result: a flood of fake IRS messages, identity theft schemes, and impersonation attempts that arrive right when you’re most distracted. Incogni gives you the power to do something about it, and 9to5Mac readers can save 58% with promo code 9TO5MAC.

Anyone looking to launch an online shop runs into the same questions: Do I need to code? How do I choose the right products? And what about inventory, suppliers, and customer support?
