The Equifax breach is a stark reminder that forces beyond your control can lead to the exposure of your personal information. It’s also an important reminder that everyone needs identity theft protection. Every year 10 million Americans have their identity stolen.

What Can You Do?

IR members now have access to IDShield, a new member benefit! IDShield understands how stressful data breaches are and they are here to help. As an IR member, you have access to IDShield’s dedicated and experienced licensed private investigators to ask questions and get help if you have concerns about identity fraud. Members also have proactive credit monitoring through Experian and will be alerted if there are any changes to their credit report. Here are steps you can take to provide an extra layer of security:

Set Up a Fraud Alert

Members should first set up a fraud alert with one of the main bureaus. This reduces the chance of a fraudster opening a credit or loan account in your name. If you place the alert with one bureau, they will ensure it’s placed on the other bureaus as well. Fraud alerts last for 90 days, but can be renewed.

Be Diligent with Your Information

Don’t give out your personal information if it sounds fishy. IDShield members, if you’re unsure,
this is a great time to call your licensed private investigator for advice!

Change Your Passwords

You should change your passwords, especially for online banking and other finance accounts. This will reduce the risk of thieves moving your money or assets fraudulently. IDShield Members, as you change your password, use your IDShield Vault password manager to generate a new strong password!
