Anyone getting identity theft help from the Care-Cloud breach?
Today I received a notification of a CareCloud security breach, about medical information stolen. Every year I get a similar letter from different companies. Underpaid employees are selling us out by selling our personal information. This letter today offered no free identity theft protection. I received a few sheets of paper expressing the company's regret for the security breach and a lot of general advice on how to get a security freeze. All the stuff I already know.
I need no advice from a careless company that doesn't care enough to pay for identity theft protection. Last time, shortly after I got a notice like that and put off setting up the identity theft protection offered, someone forged a check with my name and Social Security number through an out-of-state credit union.
My bank put the stolen check through after the credit union, with the original forged check rejected the check because the stolen check was from a credit union customer who was a previous identity theft victim. It disappeared in my bank briefly. After I filed a complaint with my bank, I was told that $950 should have gone back to my bank account. Sticky-fingered employees must have thought they could keep it🤔
