Multiple cybersecurity lapses around the globe have initiated discussions on the necessary steps required to safeguard sensitive data. However, a _recent data breach_ raised considerable


alarm after Jeremiah Fowler, a security researcher, came across a database containing over 184 million usernames and passwords, stored in plain and unencrypted text. These included login


credentials for Google, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, Instagram, banks, health platforms, and even government portals. No one wishes for their information to be displayed on a notice board for


the entire world to see and access, so the question arises: What can you do if your information is compromised?  In this article, we break down how these breaches happen, the warning signs


that your data might be at risk, and most importantly, what you can do to protect yourself.
