Diana Health, Inc. Data Breach Notice (Vermont Attorney General)

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 Diana Health, Inc..

1. 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.

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.
