This week’s Digital Savant column in the Austin American-Statesman is about protecting your identity and knowing your options if your personal data is ever breached on a website or service you with which you do business. (And, in all likelihood, it’ll happen sooner or later.)
A recent hacking attack on Zappos.com brought the topic up again after a large number of attacks last year on a variety of entertainment, banking and government websites.
Austin has quite a few Internet security and ID theft-related companies and we spoke to two of them for the column.
You can read the full column, which ran in Monday’s newspaper, here.
