A significant data breach has affected 73 million AT&T accounts, leading to lawsuits and concerns over compromised Social Security numbers. In addition, Evolve Bank & Trust, which issues Uber Pro debit cards, has also been hacked, impacting millions of rideshare drivers. As a result, individuals are advised to take protective measures such as freezing their credit scores to prevent identity fraud. Credit freezes, which block access to credit reports, are a recommended step, although they are currently only available in Quebec. Freezing credit is a straightforward process that can be done online through major credit bureaus.
