Zombie Apps & Accounts

Zombie apps and accounts are forgotten online services that endanger your privacy, clutter your phone, and drain your battery. Your information is likely in apps, websites, and services you’ve long forgotten about. Having your email address, password, and name littered across the internet makes you a prime target for hackers. Take the time to eliminate zombie apps and dormant accounts.

• Search your inbox for terms like “welcome” or “your subscription” to identify a starting point
• Delete dormant accounts
• Delete apps that you no longer need from your smartphone
• Check your credit card statements for recurring payments
• Keep track of discounted or free trial periods
