Unverified Data Source Data Breach (2021)

If you were named in this filing, here’s what’s now in circulation.

In January 2021, over 11M unique email addresses were discovered by Night Lion Security alongside an extensive amount of personal information including names, physical and IP addresses, phone numbers and dates of birth. Some records also contained social security numbers, driver's license details, personal financial information and health-related data, depending on where the information was sourced from. Initially attributed to Astoria Company, they subsequently investigated the incident and confirmed the data did not originate from their services.

What to do now

Steps that match what this notice says was exposed

Every step below is free and you do it yourself, and none of it depends on Unverified Data Source.

Freeze your credit — this is the one that matters. A freeze is free, it takes minutes, and it has to be done separately at all three bureaus: Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. It stops a new account being opened in your name, which is what a Social Security number in the wrong hands is for. You can lift it temporarily whenever you need credit.
Tell your bank before you do anything else. Account and routing details are the fastest-moving of the fields in this notice. Call the number on the back of your card rather than any number in an email, and ask them to watch the account and reissue the card.
Read your next explanation of benefits. Medical identity theft shows up as treatment you did not receive, billed to your policy and written into your medical record. Your insurer can flag the policy, and you can request an accounting of disclosures from the provider named here.

One more, whatever was exposed: a breach notice is a favourite disguise for a phishing email. If a message about this arrives, do not use its links — go to the company’s site yourself, or call the number on your statement.
