On Friday, September 28, 2018, Facebook announced an attack on its computer network impacting the personal information of nearly 50 million users. While Facebook has addressed the issue and informed law enforcement, you should still take steps to help protect yourself.

·         Consider changing your login to Facebook.  The best way to make sure a hacker can’t access or make use of your Facebook account is to change your password.  Your new password should use upper- and lower-case characters, numbers, and one or more symbols.

·         If you’ve stored your credit card data with Facebook delete them.  This way they’re not available for use by someone who gains access your account.  It may be a little inconvenient, but it could save a big hassle in disputing charges you didn’t make.

·         Keep your credit secure with IDENTITY ARMOR® identity protection.  When you’re an IDENTITY ARMOR® subscriber any attempt to access your credit is blocked and you’re immediately notified by text and email.  If your identity is compromised, you’ll have $1 million dollars in identity fraud insurance protecting from loss from identity theft and an identity restoration expert to assist you in restoring your credit should it be affected.  To find out more visit us at http://www.identityarmor.com
