What Happened?
On April 14, 2025, Credit Sesame notified customers of a data breach involving suspicious online activity related to user accounts. After discovering the breach, Credit Sesame launched an investigation and took steps to secure affected accounts.
The investigation revealed unauthorized log-in activity, potentially allowing unauthorized individuals to access sensitive consumer information.
Your Rights and Next Steps
If you received a notification from Credit Sesame about this data breach, you have important rights and options available to protect yourself and your personal information.
First, consider enrolling in the free credit monitoring and identity theft protection services offered by Credit Sesame through Experian. These services can help you monitor your credit reports for signs of fraud or identity theft.
Next, regularly check your financial accounts and credit reports for suspicious activity. You can request a free copy of your credit report annually from each of the three major credit bureaus.
Additionally, you have the right to place a fraud alert or a credit freeze on your credit file at no cost. A fraud alert informs creditors that they should verify your identity before issuing credit in your name. A credit freeze restricts access to your credit reports, making it harder for identity thieves to open new accounts in your name. You can contact the three major credit bureaus directly to set up a fraud alert or credit freeze.
Finally, you have legal rights if you are a victim. Experienced data breach lawyers are seeking to speak with those who have been affected.
