Impact of Data Breaches
All of the information stolen is valuable and dangerous to affected victims. In previous data breaches, victims of data theft noticed identity theft attempts ranging from: fraudulent charges on bank accounts or credit cards; unauthorized credit card applications; medical services or government services ordered in their name; personal information posted on the dark web; a massive uptick in the number of spam text messages, calls, and emails received.
Though the company offers credit monitoring, it is of limited duration. Any amount less than a lifetime of protection is simply inadequate, as data breaches present a lifetime of risk. Fraud and identity theft attempts or attacks can happen for many years following a data breach. Individuals impacted by data breaches will have to remain vigilant. Steps to consider taking include closely monitoring accounts, changing passwords, and acting quickly to prevent or minimize fraud once it has occurred.
