Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Attorneys Advise Regular Financial Monitoring to Protect Sensitive Information

Panama City, Fla. – Over the course of the year, there have been numerous data breaches involving users’ sensitive financial information due to negligence of security measures by users and providers alike. Whether the breach occurs within a credit card company, worldwide bank or loan provider, Panama City bankruptcy attorneys advises the public to regularly monitor their financial information to prevent identity theft and financial protection.

Regularly reviewing credit reports and credit statements is advised to check for suspicious activity. Any credit card holder is entitled to a free credit report every 12 months from each of the three major consumer reporting companies. Even the smallest charge unnoticed could lead to subsequent unauthorized purchases.

An additional safety measure that Chapter 7 bankruptcy lawyers in Panama City recommend to secure financial records is to regularly update passwords to financial accounts. Strong passwords, including capital and lowercase letters, numbers and symbols, will decrease the likelihood that online accounts could be hacked or accessed by an unauthorized source.
