Your Rights and Next Steps
If you believe you may have been impacted by this data breach, there are important steps you can take to protect your information and your rights.
First, consider placing a fraud alert on your credit files. This is free and notifies creditors to take extra steps to verify your identity before opening new accounts. You can do this by contacting any of the three major credit bureaus—Equifax, Experian, or TransUnion.
You also have the option to place a security freeze on your credit report. This makes it harder for someone to open new accounts in your name without your permission. Each credit bureau allows you to request a security freeze at no charge.
It’s a good idea to review your credit reports regularly for any unfamiliar activity. Under federal law, you are entitled to one free credit report every 12 months from each of the three major credit bureaus.
Since medical information was involved, watch for signs of medical identity theft. Review any statements from your health insurance provider and contact them if you see services you don’t recognize.

If your personal information was compromised in the Cornerstones of Care data breach, you may be entitled to compensation. Lawyers are ready to help you understand your rights and pursue a claim. You do not have to face this situation alone, and taking action now can help protect your future.
