Online Data Protection After Steam Breach
Online data protection has never been more critical. Recently, the Steam breach exposed just how easily personal information can end up in the wrong hands. Even trusted platforms struggle to keep user data secure.
Earlier this month, cybersecurity researchers discovered a dark web database containing records from nearly 89 million Steam accounts. Shockingly, this leaked data included phone numbers, expired two-factor authentication codes, and one-time access codes. Although Valve claimed the leaked codes had already expired and no payment data was exposed, this incident clearly shows how vulnerable your personal information remains.
Why the Steam Breach Is a Wake-Up Call
Although the leaked information may seem harmless at first, it can still be highly valuable to cybercriminals. When combined with other leaked data, these details make it easier to launch phishing scams, commit identity theft, and carry out targeted attacks.
Therefore, relying solely on companies to protect your personal data is no longer enough. You must take proactive steps to safeguard your personal information before it becomes part of the next major breach.
