Data Breaches Skyrocket; Here's How to Safeguard Your Online Accounts

Welcome to the Identity Theft Resource Center's Weekly Breach Breakdown for April 26th, 2024. I'm Alex Achten, Director of Communications & Media Relations of the ITRC. Thanks to Sentilink for supporting the ITRC and this podcast.

Each week, we look at the most recent events and trends related to data security and privacy. Today, I will discuss how identity criminals targeted a LastPass employee in a failed deepfake CEO call. I will also provide an update on the much-talked-about AT&T data event that stems back to at least 2021.
