Dear Reader,
Earlier today we heard that security researchers had found 26 billion records exposed together online, saying it was the “mother of all breaches”. The data that was found doesn't appear to be from one single data breach, but more likely a compilation of multiple breaches from sites such as LinkedIn, Twitter, Weibo, and Tencent, among others. Data breaches happen all the time, and many of us may have had more data exposed than we think. With that exposed information, criminal hackers could:
Hack into your email and send phishing messages to your contacts
Access your social media account, and ask for ransom or damage your reputation
Steal your money by using your identity to open a credit account or take out a loan
And more...
We want you to know what personal information of yours is out there. That’s why Malwarebytes have created their Digital Footprint Portal. Just enter your most commonly used email address and they’ll send you an email report containing the information they found about you that’s been exposed online.
