What You Can Do

If you were affected by the Excelas breach, here are important steps you can take to protect your personal and medical information:

  1. Monitor Your Accounts: Regularly review your financial statements, medical records, and credit reports for any suspicious activity. If you notice anything unusual, report it immediately to your financial institution or medical provider.
  2. Place a Fraud Alert or Security Freeze: Consider placing a fraud alert or security freeze on your credit file with the three major credit bureaus—Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. A fraud alert will notify creditors to verify your identity before extending credit, while a security freeze restricts access to your credit report.

  4. Obtain Free Credit Reports: You are entitled to one free credit report each year from each of the three major credit bureaus. Visit AnnualCreditReport.com to obtain your reports and monitor for any discrepancies.
  5. File a Police Report: If you notice any fraudulent activity, you can file a police report. This will assist in resolving any identity theft issues and protecting your rights.
