2.7 billion records leaked in massive US data breach
More than 2.7 billion U.S. personal records, including Social Security numbers, were leaked on a hacking forum. Kurt “CyberGuy" Knutsson tells you what you need to know.
Your sensitive data most likely has been leaked. Want to find out? Here's a website where you can input your name, state, and year your were born. It will show a list of people with that name and you can scan through the list to see if you're on it. It's pretty bad. I was reading it's free to do a "credit freeze" with the big 3 credit reporting agencies as opposed to a "credit lock" which is a paid service. I think i'm going to call the 3 agencies and have mine frozen. What are you guys doing to protect from identity theft?
