Digital Security 101

Your personal information — including your email, phone number, and even SSN — can be compromised in a data breach or hack, putting you at risk of fraud.

Your phone number is often leaked or sold, which makes it easy for scammers to spam you. Block unknown calls and protect your info to cut down on spam.

Fake recruiters prowl LinkedIn, post on Indeed, and reach out to victims with non-existent job offers — but you can spot them if you know what to look for.

If you’ve been part of a data breach, there’s a good chance that your email can be found on the Dark Web — but is this something you need to worry about?

While it’s impossible to completely prevent all types of identity theft, you can make yourself a much less vulnerable target with a few protective measures.

The time it will take to recover after your identity has been stolen will depend on what information was stolen, how it was used, and how quickly you act.

Identity theft protection services aren’t right for everyone. But if you’re a prior victim or have family members to protect, it could make sense for you.

As soon as you see signs that your accounts or devices have been hacked, act quickly to remove malware, regain access, and minimize the damage.
