After the LexisNexis Risk Solutions incident: what to do and your options
- What should I do after getting the LexisNexis Risk Solutions data breach notice?
- Keep the letter and the envelope, and note the date it arrived. Freeze your credit with Equifax, Experian and TransUnion, change any passwords the notice mentions, and sign up for any free credit monitoring the letter offers. Then check whether you may have a claim.
- Did LexisNexis Risk Solutions offer free credit monitoring?
- Any free monitoring LexisNexis Risk Solutions is offering will be described in the notice you received, along with an activation code and a sign-up deadline. Signing up doesn't waive any legal rights you may have.
- Can I sue LexisNexis Risk Solutions over the data breach?
- It depends on what was exposed, the law in Delaware and your own state, and whether you've been harmed. Most people take part through a class action rather than suing alone. Keep your notification letter — it's the proof that connects you to the breach.
- Do I need a LexisNexis Risk Solutions data breach lawyer or attorney?
- Whether the company's systems were encrypted by ransomware or data was simply taken, the legal question is the same: did it protect your information the way the law requires? An attorney can review your notice for free, and these cases are usually handled on contingency.

- Is the LexisNexis Risk Solutions data breach letter legit or a scam?

- How much could a LexisNexis Risk Solutions data breach settlement or claim be worth?
- There is no set amount, and no LexisNexis Risk Solutions settlement is confirmed here.
