Actions to Take Once You Know

First things first, you will want to reach out to the institutions that were on the receiving end of your stolen information. Let them know that you did not in fact initiate these actions. Tell them you’d like to stop whatever activity is occurring while you and the proper authorities figure things out. They should be more than accommodating once you’ve proven who you are.

Another vital step is to protect all of your legitimate accounts by resetting their credentials immediately.
