Credit-monitoring services can help you detect fraud quickly.
IF you've been the victim of a data breach and there's a good chance you have you've probably been offered free monitoring of your credit reports.
Credit-monitoring services scan your files from the three credit-reporting companies-Equifax, Experian and TransUnion notify you of activity that could signal you're the victim of fraud, such as a new account opened in your name. If you act quickly, you may be able to close the account before the fraudster has a chance to use it.
Free options.
It's not unusual for businesses that have suffered a data breach to provide free credit monitoring to those whose personal information was exposed. If you're offered a free service, it's usually a good idea to accept it.

The year ended with bond markets and fund returns in retreat. It's wishful thinking that cheaper short-term credit and falling money market yields will spark a general bond-buying binge and propel your 2025 total returns toward 10% by year-end.
