Cyber criminals can leverage this stolen data to impersonate you, attempt to open unauthorized accounts, or trick you into revealing further sensitive details, making increased vigilance essential.

To safeguard yourself, it is crucial to proactively monitor your financial statements, review your credit reports regularly for any unfamiliar activity, and exercise extreme caution with unsolicited communications.
