🧭 What to Do After a Breach
If an account appears in a breach, start with the affected service and work outward.
1
Change the exposed password
Go directly to the service—not through an email link—and choose a new, unique password.
2
Secure reused accounts
Change that password anywhere else you used it. A password manager makes this easier.
3
Turn on two-factor authentication
Use an authenticator app or security key when available, especially for email and financial accounts.
4
Watch for follow-up scams
Be cautious of urgent messages using exposed details. Monitor financial accounts and freeze credit if sensitive identity data was involved.

💡 Four Habits That Matter Most
Use Unique Passwords
Every account needs a different password. Use the quiz below to find the right password manager for you.
Enable Two-Factor Auth
Add a second step to email, banking, and social media. An app like Authenticator is more secure than SMS.
Don't Click Suspicious Links
Go directly to websites instead of clicking links in texts or emails. Hover to preview URLs first.
Verify Before You Share
Legitimate organizations will not ask for your full password or demand payment by gift card. Hang up and call a verified number before sharing information or moving money.

Use the breach checker above to see if your email was leaked in a data breach and act fast if it was.
Keep Devices Updated
Software updates patch security holes. Enable automatic updates on your phone and computer.
Review Privacy Settings
Check Facebook, Instagram, and Google settings once a year. Most people set them once and never revisit them.
Check Your Credit Report
Get free weekly reports at AnnualCreditReport.com. Catches identity theft early.
Freeze Your Credit
A credit freeze at Equifax, Experian & TransUnion is free and blocks anyone from opening accounts in your name.
Spot Fake Apps
Scammers clone real apps—banks, streaming services, even the IRS. Always check the developer name before installing.
