What to do If Your Personal Data Has Been Compromised
A data breach occurs when someone gains unauthorised access to your personal data. It can occur intentionally or accidentally. Personal information may include your name, Social Security number, date of birth, contact information, medical records, and other sensitive information.
Cybercriminals who steal your personal information sell it on the dark web or use it themselves to open accounts in your name, impersonate you, and even commit crimes using your identity.
