Those emails sound like a scam to me.

 

That means AAA data has been comprised.  Perhaps also matched with other data floating on.

 

Maybe AAA should also look into their own security.

You obviously don't have AAA.  The Protect My ID is a benefit of membership.  It's not a scam.

I don't think that it's that great a concern.

 

I have no doubt that everyone has a phone number and email address out there on The Darkest of Dark Webs.  You are all out there.

 

One of my card issuers informed me of an email on The Dark Dark Dark Web.  You all have these things out there, even if you think you don't and it's not possible.   Oh, it's possible and highly likely. 

 

Just monitor your most sensitive accounts and information as you normally would do.

 

Everyone is out there.  Yes, even you.


You're absolutely right about there being information out there.

 

As you mentioned, someone can find out if they have information there from one of their bank card holders. 

 

From what I understand, it's usually personal information of some type from people that was obtained in an improper way, and then can be shared there on the Dark Web.
