Don’t Wait to Be Robbed: Steps to Protect Your Identity After a Breach

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Amicus International Consulting Urges Swift Legal Action Following a Data Leak—Because Credit Monitoring Alone Won’t Save You

VANCOUVER, BC — When a data breach happens, most victims receive a generic email: “We take your privacy seriously. Please enroll in free credit monitoring.” But the harsh reality is this: by the time you’ve been notified, your identity may already be on sale—and the theft could go far beyond your bank account.

Amicus International Consulting, a world leader in legal identity change and digital privacy services, is issuing an urgent call to action: Don’t wait until criminals strike. Take proactive, legal steps to protect yourself now.

“People think identity theft starts with a stolen credit card,” said a representative from Amicus. “But today’s breaches expose your face, voice, children’s school records, passwords—everything that defines who you are. If you wait to be robbed, it’s already too late.”

What’s Really at Stake After a Breach?

Modern data breaches don’t just release financial information—they leak complete identity profiles. These “identity kits” sell on the dark web for as little as $20. More sophisticated kits can fetch hundreds of dollars when they include:

• Social Security or Tax ID numbers

• Passport and driver’s license scans

• Facial recognition profiles

• Address and employment histories

• Health, insurance, and genetic data

• Biometric login credentials

According to CyberSecurity Ventures, over 8.2 billion records were exposed globally in 2024 alone. Victims include employees of Fortune 500 companies, ordinary citizens, and even children whose digital lives are tracked from birth.

CASE STUDY 1: From Alerted to Attacked

Jason M., a software engineer from San Diego, was informed his records had been exposed in the 2023 MOVEit data breach. His employer offered free credit monitoring. He enrolled, changed his passwords, and assumed he was safe.

Three months later, someone:

• Used his SSN to open five payday loans

• Cloned his passport and used it to enter Eastern Europe

• Falsified a business registration in his name to launder crypto

Homeland Security flagged Jason during a routine business flight. “I had no idea I was a suspect in an international investigation,” he said. “My digital identity had been weaponized.”

Through Amicus, Jason:

• Legally changed his name and identifiers under U.S. law

• Acquired second citizenship in St. Lucia

• Used biometric obfuscation tools to regain digital privacy

• Opened a secure offshore account under his new legal identity

CASE STUDY 2: The Silent Infiltration

In another case, a Toronto-based journalist discovered her facial scan and voice profile were stolen in a breach targeting an online transcription platform. She later found:

• Deepfake videos online using her voice in fake political endorsements

• Her likeness was used on counterfeit LinkedIn profiles soliciting cryptocurrency investments

• Her email was involved in phishing scams targeting human rights groups

Amicus helped her:

• Wipe public records and deep web instances of her compromised data

• Secure legal identity protection under Canadian provincial law

• Apply for a second citizenship through a European ancestry program

• Implement biometric cloaking tools to stop AI recognition of her face

Don’t Wait to Be Robbed: Take These 5 Steps Now

Amicus recommends these immediate and advanced protective steps for anyone who has been affected by a data breach:

1. Go Beyond Credit Monitoring

Credit alerts are reactive. Criminals can exploit your identity in ways that won’t trigger credit notifications, such as immigration fraud, synthetic identities, or government benefit fraud.

2. Legally Change Your Identity (When Necessary)

If your biometric data, passport, or SSN has been breached, legal identity change may be your only path to safety. Amicus assists clients in legally changing their names, credentials, and passports through proper legal channels.

3. Secure a Second Citizenship

Second citizenship provides a backup travel document and a parallel legal identity under a new jurisdiction. Options include:

• Caribbean Citizenship-by-Investment (CBI) programs (St. Kitts, Antigua, Dominica)

• Ancestry-based programs in Europe (Ireland, Italy, Lithuania)

• Naturalization via residency in privacy-protective countries

4. Suppress Your Biometric Data

Once facial recognition or fingerprint data is leaked, it can be used forever. Amicus offers biometric protection, including:

• AI cloaking tools

• Metadata manipulation

• Image removal from databases and search engines

5. Rebuild Your Digital Identity

Amicus provides:

• Deep web monitoring and data suppression

• Alias and privacy-centred identity rebuilding

• Legal financial reconfiguration (new tax ID, offshore structure)

Who Needs This?

Anyone who:

• Has received a data breach notification

• Works in finance, media, health care, government, or tech

• Has had their biometric data, passport, or SSN leaked

• Lives in or travels through surveillance-heavy jurisdictions

• Has received phishing emails or unauthorized login attempts

• Wants to prevent future identity-based attacks

Common Misconceptions

“I’ve changed my password. I’m safe.”
No. Your compromised data is likely already duplicated and sold on the dark web multiple times.

“I’m not rich or important. No one would target me.”
Wrong. Most identity theft cases involve low-to-middle-income victims, whose data is used for credit, benefits fraud, or illegal immigration.

“My bank refunded the money—problem solved.”
Only the financial piece was addressed. Your name, passport, image, and SSN are still out there.
