What was exposed, and what does it mean for me?
- Your passwordpasswords
The password for this account was in the data, either as written or in a stored form that can often be reversed when the password is short or common. Anyone with the list can try it on your email, bank and shopping accounts.
- Identity detailsdates of birth
A date of birth is one of the facts a lender or a phone company uses to confirm who you are. It does not change, so it stays useful to a fraudster for years.
- Your phone numberphone numbers
Expect texts and calls that use your real details to sound genuine. A phone number is also what a fraudster needs to try to move your service to their own SIM card.
- Your email addressemail addresses
Expect messages that look like they come from this service or another one you use, written to get you to click a link or sign in on a fake page.
- Other detailsIP addresses (where you connected from) and names
On their own these carry less risk, but they make a scam message sound more personal.
What should I do now?
In this order, for what this breach exposed.
1. Change the password, and every reuse of it
- Change your Online Trade (Онлайн Трейд) password if the account still exists. Then change the same password on every other account where you used it, starting with your email.
- Use a different password for each account. A password manager makes that practical: it creates long passwords and remembers them for you.
- Turn on a second sign-in step, such as a code from an app or a security key, for your email, bank and social accounts. Your email comes first, because every password reset goes to it.
2. In the US: freeze your credit at all three bureaus
- Place a credit freeze with Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. It is free to place and to lift, and it does not affect your credit score.
- If you would rather not freeze, a fraud alert lasts one year. You ask one bureau and it tells the other two.
- If someone uses your details, report it at IdentityTheft.gov to get a recovery plan.
3. In Canada: check your credit file and lock it
- Get your credit report from Equifax Canada and TransUnion Canada. Both give it free online.
- In Ontario, both bureaus must offer a security freeze free of charge, and each bureau is a separate request.
- If you live in Quebec or Ontario, Equifax Canada will lock your credit report at no charge, online, by phone or by mail. Ask TransUnion Canada separately.
- If your details are used to open an account, call your bank, report it to both bureaus, report it to your local police and get a file number, then report it to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (1-888-495-8501).
4. Protect your phone number
- Ask your mobile carrier to put a PIN or passcode on your account, and ask whether it offers a lock on SIM changes and number transfers.
- Treat texts about deliveries, accounts or payments with care. Do not tap the link: contact the company on a number you already have.
5. Expect phishing
- Be wary of messages that urge you to act fast, ask for personal details, or link to an address that is slightly off.
- If a message might be genuine, do not use its links or phone numbers. Go to the site by typing its address yourself.
