What you need to know about data breaches and how to protect yourself

AT&T Data Breach page.

In today's digital world, our personal information is everywhere. We use it to shop online, access bank accounts, and connect with loved ones. Unfortunately, this convenience comes with a risk: data breaches.

It seems like we see at least one major data breach every year. In 2024 (so far) we've seen AT&T tell us about a massive breach of over 70 million customer's info, and we've also seen the same from T-Mobile and Verizon. Other companies aren't immune, of course, but there's a good chance you're a customer of one of these carriers because they provide service for your phone. You should be concerned.
