What to do if you were affected

Based on the categories of information reported in this filing, these steps can help limit the risk of identity theft and fraud.

• Freeze your credit

  Place a free credit freeze with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. A freeze blocks new accounts from being opened in your name and can be lifted anytime.

• Check for medical identity theft

  Review the Explanation of Benefits statements from your health insurer for services or claims you never received, which can signal misuse of your medical identity.

• Stay alert to targeted scams

  Be cautious of calls, texts, or emails that reference this breach. Legitimate organizations won't ask you to confirm sensitive details through an unsolicited message.

• Keep your notification letter

  Save the notice you received. It documents that your information was involved and is often needed to enroll in any credit monitoring offered or to join a related legal claim.
