What You Should Do if Affected

2. Monitor Your Accounts: Keep an eye on your account statements and credit reports. If you notice any unauthorized activity, promptly report it to the financial institution or company involved.
3. Consider a Credit Freeze: You might want to place a credit freeze on your files, which makes it harder for identity thieves to open new accounts in your name. More information about how to do this can be found through the Federal Trade Commission.
