We want to share a piece of cybersecurity advice. FREEZE YOUR CREDIT.
There are three primary credit bureaus, and we recommend that you contact all three and request a freeze be put on your credit: Equifax, Experian, and Trans Union. If you are in the midst of buying a home, refinancing your mortgage, buying a car or other expensive item for which you will be taking out a loan, you will need to freeze your credit after you complete your transaction.
