4. Monitor Your Credit & Accounts (Ongoing): Keep an eye on your credit reports, watch out for: Accounts or credit cards you didn’t open, Loan or tax documents you don’t recognize. Sign up for transaction alerts on your bank accounts. 5: Consider replacing your ID. Contact your local DMV and explain your ID was compromised. Some states will issue you a new license and license number. 6: Lookout for scams. Don’t trust calls emails texts that ask for verification that you cant confirm.

Here’s why this is all important: If your ID + selfie are leaked, scammers can open credit, loans, and phone accounts, impersonate you online, and pass selfie verification systems as if they were you. Your leaked ID + selfie can be sold on the dark web, used to create fake accounts, apply for jobs, or even file fake tax returns if combined with more data like your SSN.

Criminals could build “synthetic identities” using parts of your info. If those fake accounts commit fraud, it can hurt your credit and even damage your reputation. They can’t empty your bank accounts directly or walk into TSA as you—but online, your ID and selfie can be treated like proof you are you.

As I said in a reply to someone else, current reporting says the data that was leaked was from a database that was 2ish years old. So even if you signed up after that time, you should still follow some of these guidelines to protect yourself from any future data leaks / identity theft :) Stay safe girlies ❤️
