    I’m a retired contractor and have been receiving many more solicitations by vendors in the past couple of months on my cell phone. How do I find out if my license information was accessed?

      Did you receive a letter notifying you that you were among those affected? If not and you want to double check, I would call the board to ask them to verify whether your data were accessed or not.
