New Scam Alert: Fake Data Breach Notifications

PC World reported:   

With so many data breaches lately, receiving yet another email about yet another breach no longer feels unusual. But before you click on any links, take a closer look at the message — it might be a phishing attempt.

Fortunately, you can avoid these attacks by sidestepping the messages. Don’t click on any links — instead, open a new browser tab and search for the name of the company plus “data breach” or “hacked.” If the breach is real, it’ll be in the news and/or announced on their official website. You’ll also find legitimate info on how to take steps to secure your account.
