Every year, both the number and scope of data breaches worldwide are rising. According to the 2022 Annual Data Breach Report by the Identity Theft Resource Center, the

number of victims has gone up nearly 41.5% from 2021. These data brokers aggregate your personal information including your names and aliases, Social Security number, login credentials, home address, location history, online activity, and much more. 

In a nutshell, your personal information is being sold or published online without you even knowing about it.

The good news is that you have the right to protect your privacy and request that data brokers delete the information they hold about you. The bad news is that it would take you years to do it manually, just once.
