Data Breaches on the Rise

According to an article published on CBS News, with information from the Identity Theft Resource Center, data breaches are on the rise. Are you and your family protected?

The group estimates about 165 million sensitive records were exposed in 2019 when nearly 15,000 breaches of U.S. private and government organizations were uncovered, a 17% jump from the year before. Experts warn that companies are still not doing enough to protect consumer data.
