RE: Amazon Cloud Hacked to Mine Bitcoin

in #technology8 years ago

The Equifax hack is a major one! Exposing personal information of 145.5 million people. Apparently LifeLock has now seen a tenfold increase in enrollment since Equifax announced the breach. Perhaps they will be next? How can we protect ourselves?

Sort:  

First, have the expectation that your data is already compromised. Change your habits to look closely at your credit report, credit card statements and notices from financial services regarding a change to your accounts (new accounts, change of email/mailing-address/phone-number, etc.). Be extra careful in giving out personal information (as criminals may contact you and masquerade as a company/agency). If you see something amiss, act immediately.
