I use TransUnion so I’m guessing I was affected though I can’t say for absolutely suruty. I do know that within the last several months I’ve had to replace three debit cards 3 different times due to unauthorized transactions. It kept happening. I would get my new cards and again, the same fake companies would have my new card info before I even used it and would withdraw money.
I got a letter , so I can file.
