Vigilance is key to protecting yourself moving forward.
We advise recipients of a breach notification to take proactive steps. This includes carefully monitoring your financial accounts and credit reports for any suspicious activity. You might also consider placing fraud alerts or credit freezes with credit reporting agencies, which can help prevent new accounts from being opened in your name.
