A Data Breach Has My Data, What Do I Do?

❎ Another day, another data breach. What should you do if you're involved?

If You're Breached
-- If your email address is in a breach, all you should do is remain vigilant for phishing attempts on that address.
-- If your password is in a breach, especially if the passwords are not described as hashed, stop using that password anywhere and change all accounts previously using it to strong, unique passwords.
-- Remember that the information collected across multiple breaches can facilitate identity theft and sophisticated phishing attempts. Always remain on guard.

It's always a sad day when a person reaches an advanced age and due to reduced mental capacity, they have to give up their driving licence, atleast there are some alternatives like travelling by bus or train or taxi, but what happens when a elderly person can no longer safely use the internet, it's going to be very difficult for them to function in this internet connected world.
