How many times has YOUR DIGITAL DATA been exposed?

The New York Times: How many times has your personal information been exposed to hackers?

The NYT has put together an interactive assessment tool to highlight a problem that a reader may only passively consume.

  • Participants answer a series of questions about jobs they’ve applied for, online services they’ve signed up for, who their health insurance providers have been, and at which retailers they’ve used credit or debit cards.
  • As they do that, the assessment tool dynamically updates a tally of how many times different pieces of the participant’s personal information have been exposed to hackers.

It makes the story come alive — and makes it very personal to each reader.

  • At the end of the assessment, The New York Times gives you links to both the stories they’ve published on each individual hacking and, more importantly, links to the announcements from the companies that were hacked, which often include remediation options for those affected.
