6:17 pm
taxes you need your employment information, your name your social security and your address. guess what all of that was stolen during the anthem hack. this is a perfect example if you're a victim of a breach file your taxes as soon as possible. if hackers have your social and employment information they have the means to file a fraudulent tax return with your name. that means they're going to get your refund and that is how tax return fraud works. another thing you can do right now, monitor your existing accounts. unlike when your credit card information is compromised, you're not going to get another social security number so you want to keep track of your credit report. watch out for unauthorized financial activity including your 401(k) and any brokerage accounts. and sign up for fraud alerts so that you're contacted before new credit is issued. we should say contact the three credit reporting agencies. some would say one, just to your due diligence. contact all three.
