How many push notifications before you cave?
Attackers flood a target with MFA requests until they hit approve. It’s the nag factor: a study showed when kids ask 9 times parents say yes. Attackers = worse than kids.
Don’t rely on MFA alone. Use smarter authentication, set limits, train your team.
Hours of manual opt-outs leave anyone exhausted.
Every form is different. Your info comes back. And some sites don’t respond at all.

Phishing is now a subscription service.

Since 2022, AI-powered deception increased eightfold. Scammers use it to steal money. Disinformation campaigns use it to manipulate opinions. The attacks are personal now, harder to spot.
Your best defense? Protect your personal information. The less data they have, the harder you will be to fool.
Good news for privacy:
California recently fined a marketing firm $56K for selling data without registering as a broker.
The message is clear: if you trade in personal data, you’re on notice.
Stronger enforcement = better protection for consumers.
Push Security’s year-end breakdown shows phishing evolving fast. Attacks now hit LinkedIn DMs, ads, and legit sites. Phishing-as-a-Service bypasses multi-factor authentication, and other exploits allow hackers to obtain access without malware. In 2026, safety means shrinking your digital footprint.

Most shoppers now judge companies by how they handle and protect personal data. Weak employee privacy practices don’t just open the door to phishing. They shut the door on trust. Invest in privacy, protect your people, and earn your customers.

AI-powered scams and phishing threats are all powered by personal data. The more companies overshare, the more we’re all at risk. Privacy-first businesses protect everyone, including you, so make sure you're working with companies that protect your information.

U.S. privacy laws are changing, if slowly. More states now have consumer data protections, but most still fall short. Until there’s a federal standard, your privacy depends on where you live and making sure you opt out whenever you can.

Fraud peaks between 2–4 a.m. UTC when defenses are down.
AI has supercharged social engineering, but most attacks still start with one thing: exposed personal data.
If they can find your employees' info, they can attack.
Privacy is the first line of defense.
The SANS 2025 OT Cybersecurity Survey found most industrial cyberattacks start with unauthorized remote access.
Stolen or purchased personal data fuels that access.
Exposed employee data doesn’t just lead to spam. It can help attackers hit critical infrastructure.
When you talk to a chatbot, who else is listening?
A Stanford study found that most AI companies collect your chats by default and use them for training - even sensitive info. Few let you opt out. It's time for privacy-preserving AI to become the norm, not the exception.
The DMV has made over $280M selling driver data legally.
You can’t stop it entirely, but you can limit what spreads:
✔️ Leave optional fields blank
✔️ Opt out from data brokers
Small steps help protect your digital trail.
📍Know what’s happening behind the scenes.
The EU just proposed sweeping reforms to the GDPR and AI Act.
The goal? Simplify compliance. The tradeoff? Potential cracks in data protections that have long been seen as the global gold standard.
Make sure you're aware of your rights and how they are changing so you can protect yourself.
Scammers love the holidays.
Watch out for:
❌ Fake ads + checkout pages
❌ “Emergency” gift card requests
❌ Off-platform vacation rental deals
The fix? Slow down. Verify. Never pay with gift cards or wire transfers. Your gut is your best filter.
If a hacker has your employee’s phone number, they can flood them with fake login requests until they slip and tap “approve.”
This tactic, called MFA bombing, is growing fast.
When people use personal devices for work, exposed data becomes a real security threat.
Opting out from data brokers is confusing by design.
One asks for your ID. Another makes you mail a form. And by the time you're done, your info shows up somewhere new.
DeleteMe helps you break the cycle with simple, effective plans to reduce your digital footprint.
