Your most sensitive data is online. Sure, you don\u2019t just post your banking details and medical records just anywhere, but hackers still find them \u2014 then sell them to anyone willing to pay.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not just tech geniuses getting away with this stuff, either. Sophisticated software is available for purchase or monthly subscription. Here\u2019s how much criminals pay to target you.<\/a><\/p>\n

Are you wondering how many times you\u2019ve been exposed? This is the best website to check.<\/a> Pro tip: Check all your email addresses.<\/p>\n

Back in the day, news of a breach or hack was shocking and scary. Now, it happens so often that you might not think twice when you get that notification. That\u2019s a mistake.<\/p>\n

How often does this stuff happen?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Way more often than you\u2019d think. In 2022, there were 1,802 reported data breaches, affecting over 422 million individuals \u2014 just under the record high in 2021.<\/p>\n

Cybercriminals get their hands on a host of your data through hacks, leaks, physical theft, human error, phishing attacks, ransomware, and other means. That includes Social Security numbers, bank account and credit card details, health records, passwords, device info and lots more.<\/p>\n

Companies and institutions are legally required to disclose data breaches, so if you\u2019ve been involved, you\u2019ll get some kind of communication informing you what was accessed (if that info is available at the time).<\/p>\n

So, what should you do?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re in the habit of ignoring data breach alerts, this list will seem like overkill \u2014 but trust me here. It\u2019s worth taking steps to safeguard your data after you\u2019ve been exposed. It can, and very well might, get worse if you don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

IS IT WORTH IT? MUST-HAVE APPS VS. THE MONEY DRAINS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

TECH SMARTS: WINDOWS AND MAC TRICKS YOU\u2019LL USE ALL THE TIME<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

A little prevention goes a long way<\/strong><\/p>\n

Being smart about how you react is one thing, but it pays to be proactive, too.<\/p>\n
