Mentioning this here because of the massive data hack by what is believed to have been a state attack on consumers personal data. (That is how the news is reporting it.)
People's ID's have already been used since the breach for establishing credit by the ID thieves. If you aren't sure if your data was stolen you can check it by going to the following website
https://www.equifaxsecurity2017.comMine was stolen, I learned by checking this website.
I've spoken with two people today who've already had their ID's used to get credit in the thousands so far as a result of this hack.
It's free to sign up for either the monitoring or a credit freeze because of the data hack.
On the news tonight it was reported that there are three CEO's of Equifax that may be criminally liable, as they were aware of not only one hack, but two or three. And may have used that information to engage in insider trading.
Sick. Two states attorneys general are already suing Equifax because of the security breach.
For now, you can protect yourself by freezing your credit. You will get a password so if you need to apply for credit, the password will enable you to do so.
