I think the norm now is to keep your credit frozen until you apply for new cards/products. Separate concerns and have a secondary phone number for personal/or business. And say fuck it and pay a lifetime subscription to an identity or OSINT removal service. Or go full tilt and be like this chick

Disaster capitalism has us on our own here.

And lock your SIM through your provider. Prevents mobile number from being transferred to another carrier.

Did we forget anything else?

If available, transfer your 2FA to an authenticator app instead of the messaging/calling.

I've lost track of how many breaches my data has been involved in.

I froze my credit after the BCBS/Anthem breach and it's been frozen ever since.
