What can happen if your information is exposed in a data breach
It’s important to monitor your personal accounts for unusual activity after a data breach. If your personal information is exposed it can lead to identity theft and fraud. Scammers and cyber criminals may use stolen personal information from data breaches to:
- gain access to your online accounts
- target you with scams to get more information or money
- pretend to be you online or in the community.
Scammers target people in any way they can, including:
- emails
- text messages
- social media messages
- phone calls.
This can have serious consequences, including financial loss and emotional harm. Read more about how we can help if a scam or identity theft has affected you.
