If you’ve used Zeeroq.com in the past, you might be reading this with a knot in your stomach. News of a data breach in January 2023 means user information could be exposed, putting you at risk of identity theft and financial fraud.

Here’s what we know so far: reports indicate emails, passwords, and potentially more sensitive data might have been leaked on the dark web. While the details are still emerging, there are steps you can take to protect yourself.

What to Do If You Had a Zeeroq.com Account

• Change your password immediately. Don’t wait! And don’t reuse that password on any other accounts.
• Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) if available. This adds an extra layer of security by requiring a code from your phone or email to log in.
• Monitor your accounts for suspicious activity. Keep an eye on your bank statements and credit card reports for any unauthorized charges.
• Consider a credit freeze or fraud alert. This can help prevent criminals from opening new accounts in your name.

General Data Protection Tips

• Use strong, unique passwords for every account. No more “password123” or variations of your pet’s name! A password manager can help you create and store complex passwords.
• Beware of phishing scams. Don’t click on links or attachments in suspicious emails, even if they seem to come from Zeeroq.com.
• Be mindful of what information you share online. Limit the amount of personal information you post on social media or other public forums.
• Stay informed. Data breaches are unfortunately common. Stay up-to-date on cybersecurity news so you know how to protect yourself.
