You could freeze your credit, it you wanted to be careful. Realistically though, you should have already been monitoring to check if unexpected things were being done in your name. I’ve presumed that all our SSNs have been out there for years now due to one hack or another, that this hack just makes it indisputable doesn’t change much.
