Well my info was compromised.
Apparently letters are going out to everyone that was compromised. The lady on the phone told me what the letter would say and what I should do. Basically you need to call your bank and tell them to monitor for suspicious activity. Then you can call both of the credit agencies (Equifax and TransUnion) and then they monitor your credit for suspicious activity.
Equifax was pretty painless... about 5 minutes going through automated menus and now they will monitor my credit for 6 years I think.
TransUnion I was on hold for about 30 minutes and I decided to give up. Maybe I'll try calling right when the office opens.
