With all the news lately (and previously), it seems that every day there is another breach. And these are only the ones t
hat make the news!
So what should you do:
- Consider a credit freeze (yes, there is a cost involved)
- Check your bank and credit card accounts frequently (in my opinion at least once a week)
- Make sure your user ID and passwords are different – no two sites should be the same. If this is too many to remember, consider a password mana ger.
- If you have used one of these companies that have been breached, change your password, request a new credit card – be proactive.
Nothing is 100% foolproof, but taking theses steps can lessen your risk.
