Reference no: EM133613314

Question: You work for a small public interest agency that helps individuals protect their personal information, especially in relation to concerns about identity theft resulting from data breaches. You have been asked to an "FAQ page" for the agency's website to help consumers understand their rights and responsibilities in relation to protecting their personal information in the event of a data breach, and to understand what steps to take if concerned about compromised information, as well as the pros and cons of each of those steps. The FAQ page should correspond to the equivalent length of 4-5 pg of regular text. [Note: you don't have to actually create the website; simply write the text for it.]
