Immediate Actions

• Check to make sure the software on all of your systems is up-to-date.
• Run a scan to make sure your system is not infected or acting suspiciously.
• If you find a problem, disconnect your device from the Internet and perform a full system restore.
• If in a public setting immediately inform a librarian, teacher, or manager in charge to contact their IT department.
• Report the incident to your local police so there is a record of the incident. 

At Work

• If you have access to an IT department, contact them immediately. The sooner they can investigate and clean your computer, the less damage to your computer and other computers on the network.
• If you believe you might have revealed sensitive information about your organization, report it to the appropriate people within the organization, including network administrators. They can be alert for any suspicious or unusual activity.

Immediate Actions if your Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is compromised:

PII is information that can be used to uniquely identify, contact, or locate a single person. PII includes but is not limited to:

• Full Name
• Social security number
• Address
• Date of birth
• Place of birth
• Driver’s License Number
• Vehicle registration plate number
• Credit card numbers
• Physical appearance
• Gender or race

If you believe your PII is compromised:

• Immediately change all passwords; financial passwords first. If you used the same password for multiple resources, make sure to change it for each account, and do not use that password in the future.
• Contact companies, including banks, where you have accounts as well as credit reporting companies.
• Close any accounts that may have been compromised. Watch for any unexplainable or unauthorized charges to your accounts.
