I received a dark web alert due to my financial institutions account number being found. What now?

What Triggers a Financial Account Number Found Alert?

• Look at the date of the alert. Some alerts may be delayed depending on the reporting source.
• One of the financial account numbers added to the Watchlist was found on the Dark Web.

Is there anything I have to do?

• If you previously used your financial account number to complete a valid transaction with a company that experienced a data breach, immediately change the password on that company’s website.
• Immediately contact the financial institution to request a new account number and to issue new credit/debit cards (if applicable).
• Monitor the account for any unauthorized or fraudulent activity.
