I am an EU citizen and I was informed that my EURAXESS account was breached. They informed me that while the password wasn’t stolen, all of my personal data including addresses, IDs from the CV was stolen and made available on some website.
They say that they’re working towards making the site secure, etc., but I know that my personal info is out there. They have even told me to watch out for scams and phishing attempts over the next few months to come.
I am a bit shaken. Please tell me what steps I can take to gain back some control over this situation?
Idk which EU authorities to notify about compromised ID and such but you’re going to want to ask a couple of lawyers about how Class Action works. You should probably also pay for a service to remove your data from online directories.
You cannot unsteal your information.
