ADT Data Breach: What You Need to Know

Data Compromised

Hackers obtained customer information, including addresses, emails, phone numbers, and potentially other personal details. While ADT has not confirmed that home security systems were not breached, it's important to remain vigilant.

 

Steps You Can Take

Monitor Accounts:

Keep a close eye on your bank, credit card, and other financial accounts for any unauthorized activity, including unusual transactions or charges.

 

Change Passwords:

Update passwords for all online accounts that use the same information as your ADT account, such as email, social media, or other online services. Consider using strong, unique passwords for each account.

 

Contact ADT:

Reach out to ADT directly for specific guidance and support. They can provide you with more information about the data breach and any additional steps you may need to take.
