Certain websites are in the business of collecting and selling people’s personal information without their consent, which is unfortunately legal in the US. These sites are called data brokers and they make up a $240 billion dollar industry. They use sophisticated methods to collect personal, financial, location, and even health information, often without your consent or even your knowledge. They’ll sell what they’ve collected to third parties, profiting from your information and leaving you open to violations of your privacy and security.
A data breach happens when personal or private information gets exposed, stolen or copied without permission. These security incidents can result from cyber attacks on websites, apps or any database where people’s personal information resides. A data breach can also happen accidentally, like if someone’s login credentials get posted publicly.

Hackers rely on people reusing passwords, so it’s important to create strong, unique passwords for all your accounts. Keep your passwords in a safe place that only you have access to; this could be the same place where you store important documents or a password manager.
Not all breaches expose all the same info. It just depends on what hackers can access. Many data breaches expose email addresses and passwords. Others expose more sensitive information such as credit card numbers, PIN numbers, and social security numbers.
