Its primary customers are individuals who subscribe to its services to safeguard their personal and financial data. The exposure of sensitive information like social security numbers, financial account details, and driver's license numbers poses significant risks of identity theft, financial fraud, and potential reputational damage.

To protect themselves, individuals should be cautious about the personal information they share online and can utilize services like IDnotify to monitor their data and receive alerts about potential breaches.
