Need to know info about June’s Reddit breach

Nowadays, we are constantly hearing about computer hackers and massive data breaches on the news. One of the big ones to recently occur was the June REDDIT hack, which left thousands of people scrambling to identify if their identities and personal information had been compromised. Reddit admitted that user information from 2005–2007 had been accessed by hackers, including usernames, email addresses, postings, private messages and more!
As if that wasn’t frightening enough, there was a second database accessed by the hackers, that included all email logs from June 3rd — 17th of 2018. It’s definitely worthwhile to determine whether your identity has been stolen by checking out your Credit Report to see if any new accounts might have been opened in your name. It is also possible to run a “Dark Web Scan” with a company like Experian to see if any of your private information has been floating around the dark web — where it is highly likely to be sold.
This is sadly not a new problem, nor will it be the last time it happens in our era of digital information and security concerns. It is important that you take some steps such as enabling two-factor authentication for your accounts and constantly updating passwords to ensure safety for your online profiles.
