It is possible that at some point one of your online accounts will be compromised. Here are some tips for if it happens:

• If a company responsible for exposing your information offers you free credit monitoring, take advantage of it. However, beware that credit monitoring does not necessarily mean it will monitor to see if someone uses your Social Security number to get a tax refund.
• Get your free credit reports from annualcreditreport.com. Check for any accounts or charges you do not recognize. 
• Consider placing a credit freeze.
