We are committed to addressing this situation as quickly and efficiently as possible, in a manner that protects customers and their data. In the meantime, all affected customers are strongly encouraged to take advantage of the credit monitoring services, says TIO.

TIO has also begun working with the companies it services to notify potentially affected individuals, and PayPal is working with a consumer credit reporting agency to provide free credit monitoring memberships.
