Welcome to the Identity Theft Resource Center's Weekly Breach Breakdown for August 2nd, 2024. I'm Alex Achten, Director of Communications & Media Relations of the ITRC. Thanks to Sentilink for supporting the ITRC and this podcast. Each week, we look at the most recent events and trends related to data security and privacy. Today, I am going to talk about two events that you have probably heard about all over the news, and what it ultimately means for our digital footprint.

When you think of footprints, many things come to mind. It may be something inspirational and purposeful. Or it could simply be the thought of someone leaving shoe marks in the living room after not following your house rule of no shoes! A lot of people probably think of the popular song “Footprints in the Sand” by Leona Lewis. No matter what comes to mind, there is another footprint we should probably be paying more attention to: our digital footprint.
