Artificial intelligence is making it easier than ever for cybercriminals to find leaked passwords, login details, and other sensitive information that has been exposed online. However, there are a few simple steps you can take if your personal information ends up in the wrong hands. Cybersecurity experts recommend first checking whether your email address or passwords have appeared in known data breaches using trusted breach-monitoring tools. If you discover your information has been exposed, it's important to act quickly. Start by changing the password of any affected account, as well as signing out of all active devices and sessions. Security experts also recommend using long, unique passwords for every account you have. They also advise enabling two-factor authentication through an authenticator app instead of text message verification, which is generally considered less secure. If you use AI assistants that connect to your files or online accounts, it's worth reviewing what permissions they have. Experts recommend checking which files, apps, and online accounts your AI assistant can access, then removing any permissions it doesn't actually need. It's also important to remember that dormant accounts can still contain personal information and may become easy targets if they're left sitting in company databases.
