What should I do if my personal information has been exposed in a data breach?


  1. Educate yourself on what you can do next by visiting the website of the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.
  2. Check the website of the organisation responsible for the data breach to investigate the scope of the incident.
  3. Monitor your credit report and bank statements for any suspicious activity.
  4. Be cautious about phishing and scam emails.
  5. Change your passwords and use two-factor authentication for additional security.
  6. Stay up to date if an organisation offers monitoring or other protections.
  7. Consider delaying or ending internet activities that require personal information.
