My MIL got a notice of a data breach from a health provider. I went over her credit report with her online, nothing out of the ordinary. Also utilized a credit monitoring service on her credit card and there were a few "alerts" of her SS# being exposed on the Dark Web. She is a widower and tends to worry about these sort of things to the point of panic.
Would a credit freeze or lock be a better option to try to appease her worries? She has a steady stream of pension income and doesn't finance anything so access to credit really isn't a need at this point. TIA
