Steps to take if your information was exposed

• Place a fraud alert or credit freeze with all three credit bureaus. Contact Equifax (1-800-525-6285), Experian (1-888-397-3742) and TransUnion (1-800-680-7289) to help prevent new accounts from being opened in your name.
• Request and review your credit reports. Visit AnnualCreditReport.com to obtain free copies of your credit reports from all three bureaus and look for any accounts or inquiries you do not recognize.
• Monitor your bank and credit card statements closely. Because financial information including account numbers and card numbers was exposed, check your statements regularly for unauthorized transactions and report any suspicious activity to your bank immediately.
• Contact your state's Department of Motor Vehicles about your driver's license. Since driver's license numbers were part of this breach, consider placing a fraud alert on your license to help prevent someone from creating a fake ID using your information.
• Be cautious of phishing attempts that reference OuterBox or this data breach. Scammers may send emails, text messages or make phone calls pretending to be from the company in an effort to trick people into providing additional personal information.
• Consider filing an identity theft report with the Federal Trade Commission. Visit IdentityTheft.gov to create a personal recovery plan if you notice any signs that your information has been misused.
