如何应对数据泄露

有关数据泄露的新闻每天都是头条新闻，各大公司都受到了影响。虽然这些高知名度公司的声誉会受到影响，但您的数据才是受影响最大的实体。制定明确的计划来处理数据泄露事件至关重要，因为这将帮助您减少影响。

大多数公司在发生数据泄露时可能会提醒你，也可能不会。但是，一旦你得知消息，就应该毫不犹豫地采取预防措施。以下是发生数据泄露时应采取的措施：

找出被入侵的内容

How you react to a data breach is entirely dependent on the type of information that has been compromised. If the hackers only managed to get away with some usernames and not any other data, then there is not much to worry about. However, if they gained access to both your usernames and passwords – you will need to take serious steps to ensure your information stays safe. On the other hand, if your credit card/ bank details have been compromised, then there is a need to contact your bank immediately.

一旦存储您任何信息的机构联系您报告数据泄露事件，您就应该开始回忆他们曾接触过的数据量。通常情况下，贵公司应该说明被篡改信息的类型/数量。尽管如此，您应该始终假定您的所有信息都已泄露。

当财务信息被泄露时该怎么办

一旦发现借记卡或信用卡被盗，应立即与银行联系--让他们注销你的卡，并计划更换新卡。如果您的银行账户信息被篡改，尤其是网上银行信息被篡改，那么请采取行动关闭您的账户，然后重新开设一个新账户。

登录信息被泄露时该怎么办

When dealing with this kind of breach, you need to know what details the hacker might be having. For instance, if it is just the password, then you should have it changed – we always encourage our readers to use standard practices of password creation like using strong and unique passcodes, with an enabled two-factor authentication technique.

每个账户都要使用不同的唯一密码。如果要记住所有密码很困难，那么你就应该有一个好的密码管理工具。

使用 VPN 服务

After dealing with a breach, you should secure your online data from future attacks. Working with institutions that care about your information by keeping it private and secure is part of that process. All this will be achieved if both you and your dependent corporations are using strong security mechanisms. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are using strong security mechanisms such as a reputable strong VPN. A VPN encrypts your data, won’t store logs and it can also hide your physical location. This way you can be sure a hacker cannot get to you.
