Cyber Security — By Gethyn Jones

See if your details have been leaked online

If your email address or password has been in a data breach, we'd recommend taking immediate action to protect yourself. Why it matters We see this a lot: a customer's email or password has been compromised, and they don't realise it until it's too late. By checking for data breaches, you can stay one step ahead of potential hackers. How to check Go to a reputable website like Have I Been Pwned, which matters because it's a well-established and trustworthy source for breach information. Enter your email address, which matters because it's often the key to unlocking other accounts and sensitive information. Check the results, which matter because they'll show you if your email address or password has been involved in a known data breach. Change your password, which matters because it's the best way to protect yourself from potential hackers who may have obtained your details. What to do next If you've been affected by a data breach, we'd recommend taking steps to secure your accounts and protect your personal data. This includes using strong, unique passwords and enabling two-factor authentication where possible. Questions about your own setup?
