What Should You Do?
If your Social Security Number was exposed in this breach, you should act quickly to protect yourself. Consider placing a free fraud alert or credit freeze with each of the three major credit bureaus — Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. A credit freeze prevents new accounts from being opened in your name without your authorization. Review your credit reports for unfamiliar accounts or inquiries by visiting AnnualCreditReport.com, where you can access free reports from all three bureaus. If Baanx US Corp. offers identity theft protection services as part of its response to this breach, be sure to enroll before any stated deadline.
