Find Out How Many Times Your Personal Information Could Be Stolen

Considering all the hacker attacks over the past few years, there is a high chance that some of your sensitive personal data has been leaked to hackers. This test from the New York Times highlights the latest major attacks and what information might have been disclosed.

You don’t need to enter any personal information in the quiz, but just click on what applies to you. As you do this, the number of personal data leaks increases. If you are one of the 21.5 million people whose data was recently stolen from the Federal Office of Human Resources, you will, for example, find out that your address, employment record, financial history, fingerprints, and social security number may have been stolen. …

The test does not include every attack, and not everyone associated with those sites or services was affected, but this is a good reminder to keep track of your credit reports and statements and perhaps use a credit freeze or fraud alert to prevent identity theft.
