For proactive protection, McAfee® can actively monitor your sensitive information and give step-by-step guidance when you need it the most.
What should I do if I'm the victim of identity theft?
Begin by analyzing the situation and reviewing the compromised information. Then, notify the relevant authorities, such as your bank, coverage agency, a local police station, or a national cybercrime complaint center. While the relevant authorities are helping you with the case, check and secure your financial accounts, devices, and proof of identity.
