What Should You Do?
If your financial account or credit and debit card information was involved in this breach, act quickly to limit your exposure. Contact your bank or card issuer to report the potential compromise and request new account numbers or cards if necessary. Place a fraud alert or credit freeze with the three major credit bureaus — Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion — to make it harder for someone to open new accounts in your name. Review your credit reports for unfamiliar accounts or charges at AnnualCreditReport.com, and monitor your bank and card statements closely for unauthorized transactions. If you become a victim of identity theft, report it and get a personalized recovery plan at IdentityTheft.gov.
