As soon as they get done freezing their credit, replacing their credit cards and getting new phone numbers they will get right on that.

I suggest calling TransUnion (888-909-8872) and placing a credit freeze on your credit -no one can open an account with it frozen. The tricky part was creating a 6 digit PIN that wasn’t something stupid. I just picked random numbers and recorded them in my password manager. From what I’ve read you just need to do…

That’s why I don’t sign up for anything that’s “Free!” that wants my credit card info.

I think their ID theft protection is more like $20 a month, isn’t it? $240 a year...to protect yourself from something they caused.

Is this you?

It’s not as simple as that. Because this data is built up on public records you need to keep the key from the source data intact so you can track back when a bad join is made. Several years ago, a credit agency misapplied my roommate’s data on a public record to mine, so as a result, I was constantly being asked…

Please keep us up-to-date on when the class action lawsuit will be available. I’ll eagerly participate.

Reminds me of every time Facebook tells me I should give them my cellphone number in order to more fully protect the information of mine they already have.

Huh, almost as if Equifax’s IT people were incompetent or something.

That shit is “free for a year” but I bet that after the trial period is over, it autodebits you unless you opt out, which is only possible by calling this number which just rings and rings and there’s no website and....

“She tends to keep her Twitch streaming attire to “nerdy t-shirts or tank tops” that avoid showing off too much cleavage”
They might all say they work to make this happen but it never does because it would make their audience shrink.
Literally, the only video on her Twitch channel right now does not avoid showing off…

It’s international: definitely affects Brits and Canadians as well. Good luck to any hacker trying to steal my credit rating. He’s probably burning sage now, trying to erase the contagion.

At this point, the Equifax’s own website URL for the hack has been blocked as a phishing site by Open DNS.

I’m sort of lucky, against everyone’s advice, I have zero credit and never really started a credit score. I’ve never applied for a credit card and have paid my cheap cars and my modest house cash. I was just about to apply for one and “start my credit history” I guess I can hold that off for a while longer.

Hi, I’m a doctor with degrees in reproductive health and health education - I wanted to add a few important pieces of information to what you said in this article. Latex, polyeurethane, and polyisoprene condoms are non-porous - HIV cannot get through. BUT, “lambskin” condoms ARE porous, and the teeeeeny holes are…

I lived in Florida for awhile, and I remember a co-worker having a brix-shitting moment when all the water in his pool drained out and went somewhere over the course of only a few days. He had insurance people come look, and had someone come do a ground penetrating radar scan, but they didn’t find any cavities. It was…

Hey now, human life can be replaced. Can you say the same about a 2007 Chevrolet Malibu? /s

Just let me know when Mar-a-Lago sinks into a sinkhole.

Florida sinkhole? It needs to be a lot bigger.
