Millions of Australians have already been exposed in data leaks.
What many don't know is their user names and passwords may now be for sale online. So if you reuse the same password, suddenly they're able to access all kinds of things.
24 billion leaked user name and password combinations are available to buy on the dark web with that.
They can access nearly every part of the victim's life unless they've turned on two factor authentication.
It's quite common if they have enough points of identification for them to take over your identity and do things like take out loans and credit cards in your name.
But there are ways to check if you've been compromised websites, like have I been pod pwned?
Can run a check for you and it can tell you the compromise data.
So here we've got email addresses, passwords, passwords and user names, iphones also have a feature buried in settings with similar information.
