A data breach at Dollar Tree has exposed the personal information of nearly 2 million people, including names, birthdates, and Social Security numbers (SSNs). The breach occurred due to a security incident at a third-party service provider called Zeroed-In, which experienced a cyberattack in August. The breach puts current and former employees of Dollar Tree and its subsidiary, Family Dollar, at risk of targeted phishing attacks and other cybercrimes. The company has sent letters to affected individuals, providing guidance on next steps and offering credit monitoring and identity theft protection services. Experts advise affected individuals to monitor their bank statements closely for any signs of fraud and to be vigilant about potential identity theft, given the stolen SSNs. Data breaches like this serve as a reminder of the importance of proactive measures and taking advantage of support offered by the affected company.
