2/ Scrub Yourself From Google
Google runs a removal form almost nobody knows about.
Do this: search "Google removal request" โ submit a request for any page showing your phone number, email or home address.
They're legally required to review it, and most requests come back approved within days.

4/ See What's Already Out
Do this: search "haveibeenpwned" โ enter your email address.
It lists every breach your details turned up in. Expect somewhere between 5 and 15 you'd never heard of.
How to use it: change the password on every breached account tonight. Used that password anywhere else? Change those too. That's what actually gets people hacked.
