One of the free identity theft monitors we got as the result of a #dataBreach (#IdentityDefense) has informed my wife that her #SSN was in the #NPD breach Duh, hers and 100s of millions of others.
This is their mostly useless advice for what to do.
It's RIDICULOUS to advise people to freeze their credit report AFTER someone commits fraud with their SSN.
And how well do you think the IRS will handle it if everyone impacted contacts them "for protection against tax refund fraud"?
