The impact a data breach can have on individuals can be devasting; getting back to something that vaguely resembles normality is very challenging.

There are obviously huge differences between individuals and organizations regarding security.

In the end, even if a person has their tinfoil hat on very tightly, there's not much they can do unless organizations are taking the right steps to protect their data.

Have an open, up-to-date security culture - It's crucial to keep employees informed and trained on the latest security issues and how to act appropriately.

Use strong authentication - Your data is more at risk if passwords are "Generic" and easy to guess.

If a data breach occurs, they need to have open crisis communications with victims, assist with investigations, and hope they don't get taken to the cleaners!
