How to protect yourself after a personal data breach: 5 steps
If your personal data is exposed in a breach, attackers can use it to escalate their access through phishing, identity theft, and account takeovers. To protect yourself, take immediate action: freeze your credit, strengthen MFA, replace compromised IDs, secure key accounts (Apple, Google, etc), use a password manager, and lock down your phone. Stay vigilant for scams, monitor your social media, and treat cybersecurity as a necessity, not an option.
