Armor can't protect you from a third party who have had a data breach. That is down to your supplier and whatever they use.

 

Also there are plenty of scams where you are contacted and you can be caught out that way so insu your source is genuine.

Thank you for the response. My cell phone company (AT&T) wrote me a letter.
