Help Deter Identity Theft By Freezing Your Credit

AARP Washington and financial cooperative BECU are offering document-shredding services to protect people and their financial assets from fraud.

Hardly a month goes by without hearing of another data breach exposing our personal information to hackers and potential identity thieves. These breaches affect millions of individuals: Equifax – 145 million, Target – 110 million, Uber – 57 million, Home Depot – 53 million, and the list goes on and on. In fact, experts say very few of us haven’t been affected.
