Just 3 days after receiving this letter one of bank accounts has some illegal debits. I now have since shut down that account and had to open another one. My financial institution as well as the Attorney General's Office have been notified to see if there is any correlation. I wish everyone the best with their personal situation and I would advise to place a security block on your accounts or a Fraud alert on your credit bureaus like I have.

More evidence, if we needed it, that the laws on this need to be updated - in particular, that use of a social security number by someone who appears to not be the legitimate holder of that number needs to be reported. Currently, it doesn't. Interesting that this article appeared August 5th, and yet it looks like no one (including us) received notification by mail until yesterday, September 11th.

All involved should be compensated and the perps should be hung out to dry for all to see. I'm surprised the national newsnetworks on onto this... I agree with everything the last comment stated.

Emotionally we are so devastated, but who knows what the full ramifications will be financially. I believe the company should be held accountable, and the penalties for the perpetrators should be extremely steep. This may end up affecting my family indefinitely, depending on who had eventually gotten ahold of all our sensitive data. The penalties should reflect the massive damage they have done to untold millions of families. We had our information compromised.
