What to do if your online banking information has been stolen.

If you believe your online banking information is at risk, it's very important that you act quickly and do the following:

1. Cancel your credit cards immediately; the key is having the toll-free numbers and your card numbers handy.

2. File a Police Report. This proves to credit providers that you were diligent, and it is a first step toward an investigation if there is one.

3. Call the three national credit reporting organizations immediately to place a fraud alert on your name and Social Security Number. This alert means that any company that checks your credit knows your online banking information was stolen and they have to contact you by phone to authorize new credit.
