British Dental Association hack: unknowns remain

There are still plenty of questions and unknowns surrounding the recent British Dental Association hack that was revealed in the headlines in August.

The full extent of what data has been exposed, and how much of it, remains in question. What we do know so far is that those who are known to have been affected have had incredibly personal and sensitive data exposed. The information exposed could lead to fraud and theft, and victims must be vigilant.
