Capital One credit card company canceled my card. Seems a company had stored my information and was hacked in?

Question

They will not tell me the name of the company that was hacked into.So I suspended all my accounts everywhere to be safe.They also told me to check their site to see if any purchases were attempted.Which is fine but their server has been down for 2 days.Which leads me to believe Capital One itself was hacked in to.Any Capital One users have same problem.

Answer 1

I'm not a customer, but I'd highly suggest putting a freeze on your credit report. No one could access your report unless you enter your PIN to temporarily lift the freeze. For $30 you can protect yourself from someone opening a line of credit, even if they have your name, social security number, and birth date! This will make getting car loans and some employment screenings take a little longer, but it'll help make you safe. Otherwise, I'd highly suggest keeping tabs on your credit report and look for any fishy information now or down the road.
