I just migrated here in the US this August 2025 and just got my SSN. I applied for Discover credit card and eventually got approved. Now, I got an alert saying that my SSN was on the dark web. I checked it on the discover app and it was on a different name, address and state. Interestingly, only the last 4 digits of my SSN was displayed and the dates on the report were August 2024 and September 2024. I was still in my home country back then and my SSN was still not generated by that time. Is this just a false positive or should I be worried?

Please help. I don’t know what to do…
Freeze your credit with all three bureaus. That’s really the only thing to do when you get a notice of a potential data breach.
