Now's the time for New Mexicans to freeze their credit files

A perfect example was the hacking a few years ago of consumer data from credit files maintained by Equifax, one of our nation’s three major credit bureaus.

Last October hackers pilfered the records of the New Mexico Regulation and Licensing Department, stealing the personal information of thousands of New Mexicans.
