Recommended actions

  • Change your StarNet password immediately, and update it anywhere you reused the same password.
  • Enable two-factor authentication on the affected account and on your critical services (email, banking).
  • Watch for targeted phishing emails referencing StarNet — attackers weaponise breach data quickly.
  • Stay alert for smishing (SMS phishing) and SIM-swap attempts using your phone number.
  • Exposed identity data raises identity-theft risk — consider credit monitoring or a credit freeze.
