Your Rights and Next Steps
If your personal information was exposed in this data breach, you have important rights and options available to protect yourself against potential identity theft or fraud.
First, consider placing a fraud alert on your credit files. A fraud alert informs creditors to contact you directly before opening new accounts in your name. You can place a fraud alert by contacting any of the three major credit bureaus.
You may also want to place a security freeze on your credit files. A security freeze restricts access to your credit report, making it harder for identity thieves to open new accounts in your name. You can request a security freeze from the same three credit bureaus listed above.
Additionally, you are entitled to a free credit report every 12 months from each of the three major credit bureaus.
To protect your medical information, carefully review your explanation of benefits statements from your health insurance provider. Contact your insurance company or healthcare provider if you notice any unfamiliar charges or treatments.
