Steps to take after Sony hack

Lars
9 years ago

My brother works for Sony Pictures, and his office was shut down the week of Thanksgiving by the hack attack against the studio. The hackers stole all the employee information, including my brother's SS #, health info, etc., and because I am his beneficiary, they apparently also have my SS #. Our sister, who is a banking lawyer, advised DB to put a freeze on his credit reports, and CBS news also recommended the same, but do I also need to freeze my credit?

A friend that I work with says that we should change the password for our home network, but I do not see how this could be affected.

How much do we need to do to protect ourselves? I do not want to go overboard, but I do not want to be left vulnerable.
