Violaciones de datos
Una violación de datos ocurre cuando una parte no autorizada accede a los datos privados de una organización. Esto podría exponer datos confidenciales como nombres y direcciones de clientes, números de Seguro Social, registros confidenciales y más. Desafortunadamente, pone a las personas afectadas en riesgo de robo de identidad.
DATCP mantiene un archivo de infracciones reportadas al Departamento o que la Oficina de Protección al Consumidor ha identificado de forma independiente que afectan a los consumidores de Wisconsin. Si su información se filtró en una violación de datos, puede considerar el monitoreo de crédito u otras medidas para reducir su riesgo de robo de identidad. Algunos de estos servicios pueden ser ofrecidos de forma gratuita por organizaciones afectadas por una violación de datos.
