Customers of large enterprises need to be safe by taking quick action if there is a security breach or their computer is compromised. A breach of security on one account means that other accounts can also be at risk, especially if other accounts share passwords or trade regularly.
We will notify all banks and financial institutions holding your account if there may be any violations in your financial information.
Change passwords for all accounts. If your account has a security question and answer or PIN code attached to it, you'll also need to change it.
You may want to consider a loan freeze. This will help prevent others from using your data for identity theft and borrowing on your behalf.
Check your credit report to see if someone has filed a debt using your information.
Find out exactly what data might have been stolen. This gives an idea of the seriousness of the situation. For example, if your tax information and SSN are stolen, you need to take action quickly to ensure that your identity is not stolen. This is more serious than losing your credit card information.
Please do not directly respond to the company's request to provide personal data after a data breach. It could be a social engineering attack. Take the time to read the news, check the company website, or call the customer service line to see if the claim is legitimate.
Beware of other social engineering attacks. For example, a criminal who has access to a hotel account without financial data can call a customer and ask for feedback on their last stay. When the call is over, the trust criminal can refund the parking fee and request the customer's card number for payment. If the phone is convincing, most customers will not think twice about providing these details.
Keep track of your account for signs of new activity. If you find a transaction you don't know, handle it immediately
