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?

    I would add password manager to that list.

      And a service like SimpleLogin for having a different email address per service.

      And unless you’re using a social network site and you want your followers from other social network to find you there, use a different username too.
