Answer: Ordering your latest credit report

Step-by-step explanation: Identity theft involves using the identity of a person without their permission. The thieves can use your personal information in many ways, such as using your cards, withdrawing money from your account, etc.

The problem is asking for the least helpful choice that can be made by the identity theft victim. So, from all the given options only ordering your latest credit report will be of no use for the victim. However, reporting the fraud to the credit bureau or contact the bank and credit card companies or withdrawing money from all accounts will help safegaurding the person whose identity has been hacked.
