Steps to Take if You Are Affected

If you are among those affected by this data breach, there are several steps you can take to protect yourself:

  1. Monitor Your Accounts: Regularly check your bank and credit card statements for any unauthorized transactions.
  2. Credit Monitoring: Consider enrolling in a credit monitoring service to receive alerts about any unusual activity.
  3. Fraud Alert: Place a fraud alert on your credit report by contacting one of the major credit bureaus. This will make it harder for identity thieves to open accounts in your name.
  4. Security Freeze: You may also want to place a security freeze on your credit report, which prevents creditors from accessing your credit report to open new accounts.
  5. Report Suspicious Activity: If you notice any suspicious activity, report it immediately to the relevant financial institution and consider filing a report with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

By taking these proactive steps, you can help mitigate the potential impact of this data breach on your personal information and financial security.
