Data breaches are becoming increasingly common in today’s digital age, and the attorneys of AWKO are holding companies accountable. Companies that are in possession of your confidential information have a responsibility to take all reasonable precautions to ensure that your data is protected.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, many companies fail to do all that they should to protect your data and, as a result, experience a data breach. When a company or organization suffers a data breach, the theft of your personal and confidential data, such as names, addresses, social security numbers, and credit card information, can lead to all sorts of harm, including identity theft and financial fraud.<\/p>\n

Who is at Risk of a Data Breach?<\/h2>\n

Anyone can be at risk of a data breach, which can occur as a result of a technological vulnerability or a user’s actions.<\/p>\n

These security breaches may lead to identity theft, resulting in financial problems, damaged credit, and even blackmail. Hackers resort to various techniques, such as phishing, brute force attacks, and malware, to gain access to confidential personal information.<\/p>\n

Protecting personal data and information is essential. To safeguard your information, it is vital to keep your software updated, upgrade devices that are no longer compatible with new software updates, create robust passwords and avoid clicking on suspicious links.<\/p>\n
