The key is to block improper money flow.

I sanded off the expiration date and CVV of my credit card.

Each financial statement might list codes that expire 60 days after the statement date.

Each transfer of a significant amount might require the one-time use of one of those codes.

After my credit card numbers were used at a gambling facility in Florida (I live in California) - and Thank God my bank notified me as it was happening - I had a “high alert” put on my accounts.

Idiot was making repeated $750 bets at a sports betting venue - made another one while the bank was canceling my account. Got all my $$ back, had to change everything, which was a real pain b/c I have auto pay on several things.

Have NO idea how/where my credit card numbers, etc., were breached but I am now on high alert and change my passwords every few months.

Airplane and hotel money might be held at my bank until I physically give the hotel or airline a credit card.

Twice now I've gotten "data leak settlements" emails that turned out to be real money. Once for only about $9 but most recently I received a MasterCard with $23 on it.

Do your due diligence in investigating these emails. You might be leaving money on the table.

Google and Apple both offer built-in password managers. But are you really comfortable trusting the same companies that monetize your data with your most sensitive logins? Here’s what makes this breach different This was a perfect storm for credential stuffing. That’s when criminals take one exposed password and try logging into thousands of other accounts. If you’ve ever reused a password, you’re vulnerable.
