For those affected, it is generally recommended to remain vigilant for any unusual activity. Monitor your financial account statements and review your credit reports for any unauthorized transactions or suspicious activity. You can obtain free copies of your credit report annually from each of the three major credit bureaus.

Consider placing a fraud alert on your credit file with one of the national credit reporting agencies. This alert makes it more difficult for identity thieves to open new accounts in your name. For additional protection, you may also consider a credit freeze, which restricts access to your credit report entirely.
