Questions
Is a breach alert from my browser real?
Alerts from your own browser or password manager are real; alerts arriving by email or text could be phishing, so go to the site directly.
Does freezing my credit hurt my score?
No. A freeze blocks new accounts in your name and doesn’t affect your score.
