What must a consumer do after receiving a notification of a data breach and an offer for identity theft services?

When a consumer receives a notification of a data breach along with an offer for identity theft services, the most appropriate action is to enroll with the provider. This course of action allows the consumer to take proactive steps to protect their personal information, which may have been compromised in the breach.

Identity theft services often provide monitoring tools, alerts for unusual activity, and support in the event of identity theft. Enrolling in these services can help mitigate the risk of identity theft and offer peace of mind. It is important for consumers to actively engage with these offers to safeguard their assets and personal information.

The other options do not adequately address the need for protection following a data breach. Ignoring the offer misses the opportunity to enhance one's security, while automatically receiving the service is not typically how these offers work, as consumers usually need to take steps to enroll. Filing a complaint may be appropriate in different contexts but does not directly contribute to protecting the consumer's personal information following a breach. Therefore, enrolling with the provider is the most beneficial and preventative action a consumer can take.
