Understanding Data Breaches and Protection

Data breaches are a significant threat in today's digital age, affecting even the most secure organizations. Personal information, such as employee phone numbers and emails, can quickly end up in the hands of hackers through data broker websites. These hackers utilize this data to target individuals with phishing scams and fraudulent calls, creating serious security risks for affected companies. To combat this, services like Delete.me have emerged, focusing on regularly removing sensitive information from these data broker sites to minimize exposure and potential vulnerabilities.
