Neiman Marcus Data Breach – What Should I Do Next?

All customers are required to change their online account passwords. Customers should create a new and unique password. All your online accounts should use a unique username and password. If you cannot remember a new password for each of your online accounts, then try using a password vault to generate and store hard-to-guess passwords for each account.

If you see any unauthorized purchases on your payment card, then you’ll need to contact your bank to dispute the transaction.

Neiman Marcus is offering free credit reports to impacted customers.

You may also want to subscribe to a credit monitoring service to make sure that none of you are information has been used to open up a payment card or to increase limits on existing lines of credit.
