Data breaches and account breaches happen all the time, so it’s important to know what to do if one of your accounts is affected. Here are some tips:
- Change your password immediately. Use a strong, unique password for each of your accounts. A password manager can help you create and manage strong passwords.
- Enable two-factor authentication (2FA). 2FA adds an extra layer of security to your accounts by requiring you to enter a code from your phone in addition to your password.
- Monitor your accounts for suspicious activity. Regularly check your account statements and credit reports for any unauthorized activity.
By following these tips, you can help protect your accounts and your personal information from being compromised in a data breach.
