If Nius had your data

Look for Nius’s own notice or letter: it should say what of yours was involved. Keep it.
Your email address is out: expect convincing phishing. Open Nius by typing its address yourself, never through a link in an email or text, and check the sender before you reply.
Expect scams that use your details: calls, texts or emails pretending to be Nius, your bank or the police. Never give codes or passwords, never approve a sign-in you did not start, never move money.
