[quote=Anonymous]Sign up for credit monitoring services, put a fraud alert on your credit reports so things are scrutinized more closely if anyone tries to open an account in your name, check your accounts on a regular basis, use complicated passwords for any online transactions, and use a password vault like Dashlane to keep track of them. That's all you can really do. Are there any friends or relatives who might know your SSN? Many times identity theft occurs among family members and friends. Something like 20 million Feds were affected by the OPM data breach, and millions of folks were affected by the Anthem breach. The chances of hackers zeroing in on your personal information out of all those millions are pretty small. As my techie husband says, it's like hiding in plain sight. From what I understand, the OPM and Anthem hacks were done by the Chinese more for espionage purposes than for monetary gain. [/quote]
