In the meantime, it has requested that its customers check their card statements and report any suspicious transactions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe recommend that you check your card statements and report any charges you don\u2019t recognize to your bank. They will help you initiate a chargeback and prevent any financial loss.

However, that doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re in the clear. The hackers have your credit card information, they can still use it. That&#8217;s why canceling your card is the first thing you MUST do.<\/p>\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n<p>Thanks to the constant efforts of security researchers and hackers, as well as a lack of efforts by organizations; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesslstore.com\/blog\/equifax-data-breach-learn\/\">we\u2019ve become accustomed to this kind of news<\/a>.
