Recently, Phil Herring advised to change passwords. Some may have while others not. SUGGEST YOU DO SO IF NOT ALREADY.
I received an alert and sure enough, my old password was on the dark web. I already had changed mine
You can lock all credit bureau accounts. There is also one for the banks as well, so I suggest putting a hold thru I think Chex Systems.
For on line, I only use a separate credit card with a low limit versus your main card. If you must use a debit card, ensure you do have challenges on questionable charges as some debit cards do not allow that.
As for giving out personal information on the phone, only do so if you made the call.
