If I had the money/time, I'd buy or refurb a small laptop, wipe the hard drive clean and install Ubuntu.

Then, I would intentionally try to get hacked, as I would have zero risk of leaking personal information. I'd have a machine on which to learn hacking as well.

The only hard thing to remember is to never sign in to any personal account of yours over the web browser.
