Change your password immediately.

Also take these steps:
- Enable two‑factor authentication (2FA) if available.
- Don’t reuse the same password on other sites; update those if you did.
- Monitor the account and your email/banking for suspicious activity.
- Check whether the company offers breach details, credit monitoring, or recommended actions.
- Consider freezing your credit or contacting your bank if sensitive financial data was exposed.
