What to do now

Steps chosen from the information listed in the official filings. Your own letter may list more.

  1. Change the password for the affected account and for any other account where you used the same password. Use a different password for every account (a password manager can help) and turn on two-step verification where it is offered.

  2. Scammers often contact people after a breach, pretending to be the organization, a bank or a government agency. Do not give your Social Security number, passwords or codes to anyone who contacts you first.

  3. You can get free credit reports from all three bureaus at AnnualCreditReport.com, the official site.

  4. The Federal Trade Commission's IdentityTheft.gov gives you a personal recovery plan.
