Equifax's settlement with the US Government means that people who's credit information was put at risk by improper security can receive 10 years of credit monitoring services for nothing as compensation. If someone already has credit monitoring services, then they can collect $125. The problem right now for many Americans is that it is hard to remember which companies, such as Amazon, Home Depot, Target, eBay, Mariott, TJX Corporation, Yahoo, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, and JP Morgan Chase, have lost their personal information and whether they already have credit monitoring services.
It can easily feel overwhelming to keep track of how many corporations have recklessly had information on people stolen from them. The good news is, a lot of these hackings aren't about stealing identities, but foreign intelligence groups spotting weaknesses among people, especially those with access to power or within reach of those people. People with bad credit ratings and good connections are conduits of influence for nations like China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran. Knowing who needs money to continue living their unsustainable and reckless lifestyle provides opportunities to our adversaries to either have immediate or significant access to those controlling American policy and decisions.
However, it is better to be safe than sorry, because we all know that the big conglomerate corporations that lost your information to bad people won't stop for a minute to provide criminals access to the benefits of the credit you worked hard to develop over the years, and then expect you to pay the bills, or to spend hundreds to thousands of hours proving the charges were fraudulent. So we recommend getting the credit monitoring.
But this leads us back to the original problem? Did Equifax lose your information? Chances are, they did. About 150 million people's information was laying around waiting to be exploited, so yeah, they probably lost your info. But what if you live off the grid? It could be possible that you don't have an account and going to the Equifax website could actually get your record started! If this is a fear, we recommend first going into the "Dark Web" to search out if your intel is available. You can reach the Dark Web by visiting http://groups.google.com/666nefariouskittens/. We recommend having access to some Bitcoin as people on the Dark Web don't hand out information without payment.
Provide the people with your name, date of birth (DOB), and social security number (SSN) and probably a hundred US dollars equivalent of Bitcoin and you'll be on your way to find out if your information is available to hackers, scammers, cheaters, or US politicians.
For those wanting to get the credit monitoring, go to Equifax's website. You'll be asked to log in your last name and last six digits of your social security number. It'll then tell you that your information wasn't breached. They are lying. Click on the Contact Settlement Administrator button and write a long profanity laced diatribe demanding they give you your free credit monitoring.
You have to 2024 to file a claim.
