Your first step should be to carefully read the notice from Amgen. Look for any offers of credit monitoring or identity theft protection services and enroll in them immediately. These services can help detect fraudulent activity early on.
Next, consider placing a fraud alert or security freeze on your credit reports with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. This makes it harder for criminals to open new accounts in your name. Also, regularly review your health insurance statements for any unfamiliar medical procedures or claims, which could indicate medical identity theft.

- The filing does not give a count of affected people and lists the following information as involved: Full Name, Date of Birth, Social Security Number, Clinical Trial Participation Records, Medical History and Treatment Information, Health Insurance ID Number, Mailing Address, Email Address.
