#1 thing you can do to keep yourself safe, is not to run as root. Always use sudo, and have it prompt for a password.
#2 Backup every day. I use backintime. It rocks. As a normal user I can’t access the backups, so if something does compromise me, my backups are still safe. I also recommend to also have an offsite backup. I swap mine quarterly, which isn’t perfect, but better than nothing. Do NOT use network backups!
I also run chkrootkit regularly. Wish it had logging.
