Credit expert Dave Fulk discusses why checking your credit score and using safe passwords are the two most important things to do after a major corporate hacking event.

Tampa, FL — Feb 20, 2015 — Dave Fulk, president of National Credit Federation, published a new article entitled “What To Do When a Company Where You Shop Gets Hacked.” In the article, he explains that major hacking events, while unfortunate, are often only problematic when consumers fail to pay close attention to the information on their credit card statements and credit reports.

Fulk says, “The hacking of even major companies might seem like a dismal new reality, but that doesn’t mean you can’t do something about it to protect yourself … Fortunately for consumers, there are many ways you guard against the financial and personal headache of hacking. The important part is staying informed so you can catch issues before they turn into big problems.”

Dave Fulk, NACSO, CCRA, is the president of National Credit Federation and a national speaker on finance and credit. He has over 10 years of experience in the financial industry, specializing in finance, mortgages, and credit.
