Steps to take if your information was exposed

• Place a fraud alert or credit freeze with Equifax (1-800-525-6285), Experian (1-888-397-3742) and TransUnion (1-800-680-7289) to help prevent new accounts from being opened using stolen information.
• Review financial account and direct deposit statements for any unauthorized transactions or changes and report suspicious activity to the financial institution right away.
• Request free credit reports at AnnualCreditReport.com and review them carefully for accounts or inquiries that are not recognized.
• Monitor health insurance statements for any claims or services that were not authorized, since health insurance enrollment information was among the data exposed in this breach.
• Report suspected identity theft to the Federal Trade Commission at IdentityTheft.gov or by calling 1-877-438-4338, and consider filing a report with local law enforcement.
• Be cautious of phishing attempts that reference Acme Truck Line or this data breach by name, as scammers may try to use the incident to trick people into sharing additional personal information.
