Security Nudge. Securing Your Identity After The NPD Data Breach. Sponsored By CybSafe.

If the biggest ever data breaches were arranged by size, the recent compromise of National Public Data would be right up there near the top of the list. You may have never heard of NPD, but it has probably heard of you: as a major provider of background check services, it maintains a massive database containing more than 3 billion names, addresses, social security numbers, and other data. This data was recently compromised and offered for sale online to cybercriminals, who flock to such information because it gives them everything they need to set up new bank accounts, credit cards, and other finance in your name. This data can also be cross-matched with other breaches to help conduct other criminal activity – such as accessing your online services or personalizing phishing emails to target you or the company you work with.
