Your Rights and Next Steps

If you believe you were affected by this data breach, it's crucial to take immediate action to protect your personal information. Here are some steps you can take:

1. Enroll in Credit Monitoring: siParadigm has provided complimentary credit monitoring services. Enroll within 90 days of receiving the notification to take advantage of this offer.
2. Monitor Your Accounts: Regularly review your financial statements and credit reports for any unauthorized activity. Report any suspicious transactions to your financial institution immediately.
3. Place a Fraud Alert: Contact the major credit bureaus (Equifax, TransUnion, Experian) to place a fraud alert on your credit file. This will notify creditors to take extra steps to verify your identity before opening new accounts.
4. Consider a Security Freeze: A security freeze prevents new creditors from accessing your credit report, making it more difficult for identity thieves to open accounts in your name.
5. Implement an IRS Identity Protection PIN: Protect your tax returns by obtaining an IP PIN from the IRS, which adds an extra layer of security.
