What to If Involved in a Breach

If you are involved in a hack attempt where your private information has been stolen, you need to be alert to the possibilities of your data being used by cyber criminals.
​
Contact the organisation and ask for assistance and/or perhaps IDCARE.

Cybersecurity professionals universally recommend changing passwords immediately after a data breach involving a service you use

​You should change your password for the affected organisations, websites and related accounts you may have. If you’ve used that (same) password elsewhere (which you should never do), change them too.

Make sure you have MFA setup on ALL your login accounts and if possible, choose the passkeys option or authenticator app. SMS is now considered the weakest 2FA option but better than nothing.

• Use a strong unique password
• Use MFA
• Use a Password Manager
• Remain Vigilant against subsequent Phishing attempts
• Continue to monitor the situation
