Blue Shield of California members with vision coverage may have had highly sensitive personal information stolen in a hack, the insurer said.
Here's what Blue Shield advises for affected members: 1. Regularly and closely review credit reports and financial account statements for suspicious activity, and notify financial institutions and relevant companies if such activity is found. Identity fraud should be reported to law enforcement, and to the Federal Trade Commission and/or the state Attorney General's office. 2. Consider placing a fraud alert on your credit report... 3. Consider a security freeze on your credit report to prevent new credit from being issued in your name without a PIN assigned when the freeze is initiated. Such freezes typically require contacting all three major credit-reporting firms: Equifax, Experian and TransUnion.
