UAT Professor Aaron Jones: Protecting against data breaches
Facebook is not omnipotent nor all powerful, and their ability to protect user data is relegated to their own servers and really goes no further. Individuals who suspect or discover their data has been breached should continue to follow best practices including, not providing additional information to callers if asked for things like social security number or to confirm date of birth. They should also closely monitor their credit report and be suspicious of unsolicited emails, phone calls, or other forms of communication.
