I found out that basically everything you need to steal my entire identity was stolen from a medical company in the last few weeks.

I immediately called them to ask why it took them so long to notify me, when I had already been contacted two months ago by the class action lawsuit against them FOR THE BREACH THEY JUST TOLD ME ABOUT

It happened in February.

“luckily” I have credit monitoring because of a DOD data breach that compromised military personnel data, and all my important information is being monitored. They found an old credit card number in a data dump on a dark web site. I don’t trust their service 100% but it seems to be adequate. I’ve had to change a few passwords here and there and straight up deleted some accounts over repeated breaches.
