It seems like we can’t go a month without a revelation about some enormous security breach that compromised the personal information of millions of people. The New York Times has a nifty quiz that will quickly tell you whether your personal information was involved.

The quiz runs you through all of the recent breaches that have happened, from the fresh Federal Office of Personnel Management hack to the infamous Anthem Health Care and Target breaches.
