What Should You Do?
If you received a notification letter from First National Holdings, LLC, review it carefully for any identity theft protection enrollment offer and sign up before the deadline. Because this breach involved Social Security numbers, financial account information, health insurance information, and driver’s license numbers, the risk of identity theft and fraud is serious. Consider placing a fraud alert or credit freeze with each of the three major credit bureaus — Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. Monitor your bank and credit card accounts for unauthorized transactions, and request your free credit reports at AnnualCreditReport.com to check for unfamiliar accounts or inquiries. Because health insurance information was involved, also review your Explanation of Benefits statements and any medical records for services you did not receive. If you believe you have been a victim of identity theft, visit IdentityTheft.gov for step-by-step recovery guidance.
