I am an EU citizen and I was informed that my EURAXESS account was breached. They informed me that while the password wasn’t stolen, all of my personal data including addresses, IDs from the CV was stolen and made available on some website.
They say that they’re working towards making the site secure, etc., but I know that my personal info is out there. They have even told me to watch out for scams and phishing attempts over the next few months to come.
I am a bit shaken. Please tell me what steps I can take to gain back some control over this situation?

You can’t. Sorry.
If the datas are in the nature you can’t regain it. If it’s a real danger for you the best you should do is try to invade your name address and everything with a lot of false infos. This will not resolve the spam problem but might save your life literally in others cases
