Personal info accessed; security freeze recommended.
#3
Some thieves broke into my CPA's offices last year and stole a computer with one of the tax databases...password protected, but not encrypted. I set up new brokerage acct #s, but left everything else as-is and just monitored things more closely. Putting a security freeze on your credit record is a real PITA. I wouldn't advise it unless you know for sure your info is being used for identity theft, in which case you eligible for a new SS#.

You get one free credit check per year. Give your records a check in a month or so for suspicious activity...new CCs you don't have, odd credit inquiries, etc.
