I got a notification also via chase
I ignored the link and i logged into my chase account and they said it was the at&t breach, which has been reported in the news recently
Call each credit bureau and make sure your credit is frozen or locked if you are affected They can explain the difference (if this is what you want to do, of course.) I wish i could pinpoint where my information was leaked from, but all that was leaked with it was an address and cell phone number from like 12 years ago, along with my full name and birth date
With that info, along with my credit freeze, what are the chances of having to deal with someone destroying my credit I just found out today my ssn, number and email were leaked in the 2021 data breach I was never notified, and just confirmed through google 1 security scan of the dark web I got an alert from discover saying that my social security has been found on the dark web
Is that a scare tactic
A week ago i signed up for insurance at health clinic and i had to fill out a form with my ssn I could then hear the receptionist speaking to the insurance company on the phone in the lobby repeating everything loud enough for everyone to hear My ssn was leaked due to security issues at my old college so i froze my credit out of caution With that being said, i think there's a lower risk of it happening now
It used to be common for job applications and medical offices to ask for your ssn, but that is not the case anymore due to security risks. Here's the harsh reality of 2024 No need to mess with telegram bots or crypto This is how screwed up things are right now.
