It’s not unusual to receive an email that your personal information has been accessed through a data breach or cyber attack these days. This happened to millions of ASOS customers in October. Or you might have logged onto a site and been told to change your password because it’s been found in a hack.
Loads of us are talking about how to protect yourself online, especially in cases where companies are responsible for handling your sensitive information.
BBC’s Cyber Correspondent Joe Tidy tells us about some of the methods cyber criminals use to carry out their hacks. We also get Tejal Reddy, a software engineer and cyber-security content creator to answer some of your online safety questions and concerns.
