Guys this isn’t a typical gyro post. However, I wanted to share with my gyro friends what I recently discovered.
I received notice that my personal information along with thousands of others was compromised. I went to the websites for the three credit agencies and froze my credit. It wasn’t difficult but did take some time. I also joined the free credit karma app as it provides alerts.
I received an alert that my Social Security number was located on the dark web. I found a Clark Howard article on how to lock your SSN. I opened a free government account at “my E verify”. I was able to lock my SSN to avoid its use.
Anyway, all of this took about 2 hours off and on. I wanted to pass this along for you guys to consider doing. Two hours is nothing compared to the time it would take to ferret out an identity theft case.
