Money Box Live: How to protect your data

Bbc Radio 4
About this episode

A prolific cyber crime gang has stolen personal data belonging to more than 100,000 employees. It's a mass hack which has impacted organisations globally.

In the hands of criminals, your personal data can be used to make cloned credit cards, buy phone plans, falsely claim government benefits and even take out a mortgage, for which you can become liable. In this podcast, we discuss how you can try and prevent this from happening and what you can do if you are a victim.

The experts on the panel are Sarah Lyons, from the National Cyber Security Centre and Matt Cooke, Cyber Security Strategist at Proofpoint - which helps protect businesses and employees online.

Presenter: Adam Shaw Producer: Amber Mehmood and Clare Worden Editor: Jess Quayle

(First broadcast 3pm Wednesday 14th June, 2023)
