Your Rights and Next Steps
If you received a notice from Southern Graphics Inc. or believe your information may have been involved, there are important steps you can take to protect yourself.
First, Southern Graphics Inc. has arranged for affected individuals to receive complimentary identity monitoring services for 24 months through Kroll. This includes triple bureau credit monitoring, fraud consultation and identity theft restoration. If you are eligible, you can enroll in these services by visiting https://enroll.krollmonitoring.com and using the membership number provided in your notice.
In addition, you are entitled under U.S. law to one free credit report annually from each of the three nationwide consumer reporting agencies. Review your credit reports and account statements for any unauthorized activity.
Consider placing a fraud alert or a security freeze on your credit file to help prevent identity theft.

Contact Equifax, Experian or TransUnion for more information on how to set these up.
If you notice any suspicious activity or believe you are a victim of identity theft, report the incident to law enforcement, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and your state attorney general.
