In today’s digital world, data breaches are becoming all too common. Whether it’s a major retailer, financial institution, or even a healthcare provider, your personal information can be exposed through no fault of your own. If you've been notified of a breach or suspect your data may have been compromised, it’s critical to act fast to protect your identity and your Disney Vacation Club (DVC) title ownership.
Here’s a clear, actionable guide on what to do right now:
Update the passwords to all of your online accounts, starting with your email, financial institutions, and any accounts that may have been affected.
Use unique passwords for each account.
Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) wherever possible.
Consider using a password manager to create and store strong, complex passwords.
A common tactic used by identity thieves is applying for credit cards, loans, or utilities in your name. Freezing your credit is one of the best ways to stop this.
Contact the three major credit bureaus — Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion — to freeze your credit.
You can temporarily unfreeze your reports if you need to apply for credit in the future.
Alternatively, lock your credit through the bureaus’ apps for quicker access management.
