The company I work for had a databreach a year or two back (but just in america) similar stolen identities and info., leaked by an HR person who fell for a very well targeted and exceuted phishing email. The company bought either Experian or Equifax? one of the two.. credit protection for all the US staff, and some of my team mates are still getting notifications that someone has tried to do xxx in their name (apply for a loan/bank account/car finnance that sort of thing)

I'm not personally advising, suggesting or endorsing the service..
