Welcome back to the Identity Theft Resource Center’s Weekly Breach Breakdown. This is the episode for January 5th, 2024 and it’s the beginning of our fifth season. Happy New Year and a thanks to Sentilink for supporting this podcast and the ITRC.

Each week, we look at the most recent events and trends related to data security and privacy. Today, we’re going to talk about FOMO – the fear of missing out.
