this happened to me a few years ago. major bitch. but I've had my credit frozen for 3 years now so no issues. I've unfroze for a few things like mortgage application or new credit card application, but I refreeze right after.

Thankfully I caught it right away to cancel the account before they made any purchases but this is terrible because it won’t be the last time.

Would be nice if had an actual system to prevent this if companies like TMobile and ATT are going to leak all my data.
