I am sorry to hear that. When my info was stolen, I felt anger and betrayal by the company that was supposed to keep my info safe. It sucks.

If your SSN is part of stolen information, you should freeze your credit and tell anyone else affected to do so. If you need to get a background check you need to unfreeze your credit. It's annoying but completely worth it so people can't open accounts in your name.
