I promptly FROZE my data at the three credit reporting agencies.

Before this my Credit Score fluctuated between 827 and 828.
Now my credit score is 777 !!!
Is this because I froze it at the three agencies?
I’m never late with payments and the 827/828 was steady since last year at this time as far as I can remember.
No biggie, I don’t need to apply for credit, I have a credit card and my Amazon and PayPal are good.
But still I’m a little POed about it and the damned nationalpublicdata.com

Anyone else get notices?

I placed a fraud alert because of a similar but different breach

So should I also place a fraud alert?

No

Freezing is better than an alert.

I chose an alert in case I need credit (which is very unlikely)

#metoo!! I have had a credit freeze on (I never use credit) for at least 15 years.
