What to do now

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

  1. Check the Explanation of Benefits (EOB) statements from your insurer for visits, prescriptions or claims you do not recognize, and contact your insurer about anything unfamiliar.

  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.
