Key identity verification data used to open accounts in your name.
Physical Address
Home address exposed — increases risk of physical mail fraud and identity theft.

Freeze your credit immediately
A credit freeze at all three bureaus (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion) is free and blocks new credit in your name. Do this before anything else.
