There was a huge database breach and TONS of social security numbers, and possibly more information, have been exposed. We highly recommend that you freeze your credit with all three credit bureaus. This will help prevent anyone, including yourself, from opening a line of credit with your personal information. Don’t wait for someone to steal your identity. Be proactive!
The three links below are to lock and freeze your credit with each bureau. You do not need to pay for any of these services. As a free service provided by each bureau.
