Data theft - one in five people in this country has already been affected by it. However, the number of people who have had their personal information stolen and don't know it is probably much higher. A largely unknown Google tool reveals whether your data has also been stolen.

The Darknet - goods of all kinds are traded here: Drugs, weapons, but also information of all kinds, including above all private user data, most of which has been illegally obtained through cyber attacks or accessed via data breaches. In the wrong hands, they provide valuable tools for compromising the user accounts of those affected or launching targeted phishing attacks on them.
