Security Alert:
While most people know the dangers of sharing information such as your Social Security Number or Account Information, another data set is just as crucial to protect: your phone number and email address. We give this out without a second thought to receive loyalty rewards or use services such as Uber.
However, these seemingly harmless pieces of information are often used as keys to unlock access to online accounts, including services like Zelle and other financial platforms. Learn more about protecting your accounts.
