Just a note: I tried the same thing and was told my information was NOT impacted.
I suspect the reason for this might be that I froze my info years ago.
In some way they must be screening against people who are frozen, or I got lucky.
- newscracker 9y agoI read on Krebs on Security [1] that those who visited the site from a computer got one result, but also got the other when they visited from a mobile phone. Not that this might apply to you, but the results from the equifaxsecurity2017 site do not seem trustable. Quote from the article: > In the early hours after the breach announcement, the site was being flagged by various browsers as a phishing threat. In some cases, people visiting the site were told they were not affected, only to find they received a different answer when they checked the site with the same information on their mobile phones.
