What to Do in Light of the M&D Capital Security Breach
It’s crucial to take proactive steps to protect yourself following a data breach. Here’s what you should do immediately:
- Monitor your accounts closely: Scrutinize financial statements and Explanation of Benefits (EOBs) from your health insurance for any unusual charges or services you did not receive.
- Change your passwords: Update passwords immediately for online accounts, especially those related to healthcare providers, insurance, and financial institutions.
- Consider Credit Monitoring: Signing up for credit monitoring and identity protection services can provide an extra layer of security, alerting you to potential fraudulent activity.
- Consider a credit freeze: Contact the three major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion) to initiate a freeze. This prevents unauthorized individuals from opening new accounts under your name.
- Be extra vigilant about scams: Ignore any unsolicited communications that seem related to this breach, especially those asking for additional personal information.
