How to Know if You Were Affected
If you were affected, you should have received a direct notification from Legends International, such as a letter or email. While most victims are officially notified through a “Notice of Data Breach” in the mail, the consequences—such as fraudulent transactions and identity theft—can begin before the official notice arrives.
What to Do if You Were Affected by the Legends International Data Breach
If you believe your personal information was compromised in the Legends International data breach, it’s important to act quickly to protect yourself. Start by reviewing any notifications from Legends International, carefully monitor your financial accounts, and take proactive steps to minimize the risk of identity theft or fraud.
Although the breach was discovered several months ago, taking action now can significantly reduce the risk of misuse of your personal data. Follow these key steps to safeguard your information and find peace of mind.
Beware of Phishing Scams
Scammers may try to take advantage of the data breach by pretending to be Legends International. Be cautious of unsolicited emails, texts, or phone calls asking for personal information. Always verify any suspicious communication directly with US Claims using official contact details.
Monitor Your Credit and Financial Accounts
Regularly check your bank and credit card statements for any unfamiliar transactions. It’s also important to review your credit reports for potential errors or fraudulent accounts. You’re entitled to free annual credit reports, so take advantage of this to stay on top of your financial health. Setting up alerts on your accounts can help you spot suspicious activity more quickly.
Consider Freezing Your Credit
For added protection, consider placing a credit freeze on your files with all three major credit bureaus. This will prevent anyone from opening new accounts in your name, while still allowing you to use existing credit. A credit freeze can be temporarily lifted when you need to apply for credit, giving you full control over your information.
