Not the first time. Other major databases have been hacked. Frequency change your passwords (use a password manager). Use two factor authorization (2FA) which sends a code to your email or phone that you have to enter to prove it is you. Go to each of the credit bureaus and put on a credit freeze. That keeps anyone from opening a new credit card in your name. You can get a free credit report from each bureau once a year. Remember, DOGE got access to ALL our records and we don't know what they are doing with them.

Not something to feel good about but having gone through it with at least one other agency (maybe two) I'm a bit used to it.

Place a credit freeze with each of the three agencies, check the free credit reports, and use whatever monitoring service they offer and most of us will be fine.
