The Updated Family Identity Theft Protection Guide.

We've released an "Updated Family Identity Theft Protection Guide" that walks you through the practical steps to take before or after a data breach, how to freeze credit for yourself and your children, how to set up strong authentication, and how to create a recovery plan if identity theft does happen.

The guide covers:

    • Updating and securing your everyday devices (phone, computer, TV, router, smartwatch, car)

    • Temporarily disabling AI agents on your computer (Muse, OpenClaw, Hermes) until you've verified your system is clean

    • Freezing credit for adults and minors at all four bureaus (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion, Innovis)

    • Getting an IRS Identity Protection PIN to prevent fraudulent tax refunds

    • Setting up a family password manager and multi-factor authentication

    • Photocopying and securing important documents

    • Establishing a family security word to verify identity during emergencies

    • Following the official FTC protocol if identity theft does occur
