The following was copied/pasted from:
https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/social-security-number-included-last-152053890.html

How can I find out if my Social Security number was part of the breach?

Pentester, a cybersecurity firm, has set up a tool to let you see if your data was part of the breach. Use a web browser to navigate to npd.pentester.com and enter your first and last name and birth year. You'll see a list of breached accounts, including the last four digits of the leaked Social Security numbers.

When I was in the process of "cutting the cord" on cable internet, T-Mobile needed a credit check before signing me up for 5G Home Internet.

I used the process described above by winchester73. It only took a few minutes, and the freeze was automatically restored after the time I specified.
