What to Do After a Data Breach

Complete step-by-step guide

Data breaches happen more and more frequently. Sometimes it's just an email, but passwords, card numbers, ID documents, and even login credentials for banks or social media can also leak online.

This guide will help you step by step to minimize the risk and secure your accounts.

Verify the source of information.

If you received a notification from our app or a service where you have an account, check exactly what data was exposed (e.g., email, password, SSN, card data). Don't click links in suspicious emails - go directly to the service website and log in yourself.

Save all information about the breach.

Take screenshots or notes - they may be needed when reporting (e.g., to a bank or police).

✅ SUMMARY
