Equifax recently revealed more than 140 million people had their personal data compromised. That’s about one out of every two Americans.
In addition to taking appropriate legal and digital security steps, it’s important to take care of yourself from a psychological standpoint. You’ve been violated and it’s normal to have feelings.
