Posted by techrageit On
Winter Springs, Fla., (August 14, 2024) - On Wednesday afternoon, Fox 35 featured Tech Rage IT's CXO, Matt Rose, in a segment discussing the alarming claims by the hacker group USDoD, which allegedly stole 2.7 billion records of personal information from Americans, including Social Security numbers and addresses.
In the conversations, Rose covered key topics like:
- Credit monitoring for both adults and minors
- Benefits of freezing your credit to prevent fraud
- Dark Web monitoring services for added security
- The risks of clicking on unknown links or downloading unfamiliar files
"Unfortunately, we've seen several large-scale breaches involving personal data, including Social Security numbers," Rose said. "Now more than ever, it's important to protect your personal information and assume that attackers may already have access to it."
