Data breach - what can happen with the following data exposed?

[413x]

Had a letter from USS pension scheme I had for a short time saying my data has been "hacked" and cloned.

The data isn't something I can change. And I was wondering how much of a problem the following could Potentially cause.

This "includes" so there may be more?

Title
Full name
National insurance number
Date of birth
Retirement date.

Obviously most concerned by name NI and DoB being combined here. But not sure how bad this is

I'm assessing there's some sort of monitoring service you can sign up for. Name, DoB and NI number is basically the full whammy...

Looks like we've been given a membership to "identity plus" from experian.

I really hope home address isn't also out!

Were you affected by the hack on the MOVEit transfer software that happened recently?

This one is capita.

There's going to be a lot. Of people in same boat. Especially if more has been exposed than they've even said so far

Not really anything I can do really. I have no trust that it was only that data.
I mean a pension provider has a lot of data!
I wouldn't be surprised if they lost addresses too. I'm already signed up to all the free credit reference agencies.

I hope capita get a huge fine for this.

I would move whatever you have in that pension to another provider, if everyone did that they'd be screwed.

Not a bad shout really. Annoyingly it's a very small amount! I only worked there 12 months.
