I was in the group that was covered by Anthem Ins that got hacked.

Hoo fucking rah. My ex, was my covered dependent at that time. I called and left a message, there might be some" issues" on her credit. Seemed the decent thing to do.....hoo f-ing rah. I really don't want to deal with her or this mess. so far the 21st century sucks.

This website is very useful.

I did the 7 year fraud alert and then last year simply locked down my credit. Nobody can borrow on my SSN, including me.

I will lock down as much as I can.
I really really do NOT want to ever engage with the ex again...still, seems like the right thing to do to tell her to be aware. Anthen is giving me credit monitoring, shes' not included. Telling her seems right. Fuck hackers
