What to do now

  1. Freeze your credit for free at Equifax, Experian and TransUnion, and request an IRS Identity Protection PIN at irs.gov to block fraudulent tax returns in your name.
  2. Your date of birth is often used to verify identity: add a fraud alert to your credit file so lenders must confirm it is really you.
  3. Ask your insurer whether a new member ID can be issued, and check claims made under your policy.
  4. Expect targeted phishing that mentions this incident: do not click links in unexpected emails about the breach.
  5. Get your free credit reports at AnnualCreditReport.com and look for accounts you do not recognize.
  6. Call the SAFE Credit Union helpline at 1-800-733-7233 if you have questions about your letter.
