Well, I got a letter from AHS confirming that my health records are part of the hacked files.

Awesome. Details could include my name, address, date of birth and diagnostic health information. Fucking hell.

I haven't looked at my credit report in a while. Guess I should. Anyone think there's value in those credit monitoring services? Any suggestions for preventative steps I should take?

So I'm hearing that this is NBD and I probably don't need to do anything more than my normal security precautions? I guess the second question is, what are "normal and prudent" security precautions these days?

I’m not sure what you can do about it is all.

Check your credit report once a month to see if new accounts start showing up?

I was going to say, with the amount you post on here, someone could probably piece it all together anyways, if they really wanted to

Well, I'm of the opinion that information and identity security is basically impossible anyway. And yeah, I'm pretty open on here.
OK, I'll probably put the effort into checking my credit reports and maybe just forget about it all.
