What should you do if you have an account with this company?
- Change your password for any Safeware-related account, and avoid reusing that password elsewhere.
- Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) wherever it is offered, for this account and any others tied to the same email address.
- Be cautious of unexpected emails, texts, or calls claiming to be from Safeware, especially those asking you to click links or verify account details — this is a common follow-up to alleged breach claims.
- Monitor your bank and credit card statements for unfamiliar activity in the coming weeks.
- Consider using an identity monitoring service like a service like Aura or LifeLock to get alerted if your personal information appears in places it shouldn’t.
- Keep an eye on official communications from Safeware in case they issue a statement addressing this claim.
