If your data was involved in the breach, you are eligible for one year of identity monitoring services through Kroll. Your letter will include information including how to enroll, deadlines to sign up for services, and your unique activation code. You must activate your account online at enroll.krollmonitoring.com\/redeem. <\/p>\n<p>As always, a major data breach is a good reminder to lock down your identity. Freeze your credit (this should be your default unless you&#8217;re actively applying for new lines of credit) and set a one-year fraud alert, which creates additional friction if someone tries to apply for credit in your name. Regularly check your credit reports and financial accounts for suspicious activity and report fraud immediately to your financial institution. You can also file identity theft reports with the Federal Trade Commission and your local police department. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>\n            var facebookPixelLoaded = false;\n            window.addEventListener(\"load\", function() {\n                document.addEventListener(\"scroll\", facebookPixelScript);\n                document.addEventListener(\"mousemove\", facebookPixelScript);\n            });\n            function facebookPixelScript() {\n                if (!facebookPixelLoaded) {\n                    facebookPixelLoaded = true;\n                    document.removeEventListener(\"scroll\", facebookPixelScript);\n                    document.removeEventListener(\"mousemove\", facebookPixelScript);\n                    window.zdconsent.cmd.push(function() {\n                        ! function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n                            if (f.fbq) return;\n                            n = f.fbq = function() {\n                                n.callMethod ?\n                                    n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n                            };\n                            if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n                            n.push = n;\n                            n.loaded = !0;\n                            n.version = \"2.0\";\n                            n.queue = ();\n                            t = b.createElement(e);\n                            t.async = !0;\n                            t.src = v;\n                            s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)(0);\n                            s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n                        }(window,\n                            document, \"script\", \"\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js\");\n                        fbq(\"init\", \"37418175030\");\n                        fbq(\"track\", \"PageView\");\n                    });\n                }\n            }\n        <\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Credit: Lane V.
