Your State Attorney General

Notice of this incident has been provided to the appropriate consumer protection authorities in 47 states. Residents of any state may contact their own state Attorney General’s office for information about steps to prevent identity theft. A directory of every state Attorney General is available from the National Association of Attorneys General at naag.org/find-my-ag.

Fraud Alerts and Security Freezes

A fraud alert tells creditors to take extra steps to verify your identity before opening new accounts in your name. A security freeze restricts access to your credit file, making it harder for identity thieves to open accounts. Both are free. You can place them by contacting each of the three consumer reporting agencies listed above.
