Two online security companies have put up websites that let you check for free if your Social Security number is part of the stolen store of personal information: One is npdbreach.com from the online privacy company Atlas Privacy; the second is npd.pentester.com by the Pentester cybersecurity company. 

Both lookup tools are easy to use and search for different pieces of information in the stash. Neither requires you to enter your Social Security number. Both showed my personal information was stolen in the hack after I searched the different states I've lived in.

Best option is to assume your info has been stolen and take reasonable measures to protect yourself.
