I have 5 and 7 yr old girls. To the degree that either exists with respect to the finance industry, they both exist. Neither has credit, obviously, or any interactions with a credit agency. The only people who have their SSNs are the federal government and our health care provider, which has some very strict laws about what they can do with _any_ data they have.
Equifax says the 7-yr old "may" have been affected. The 5 yr old comes back clean.
This sure looks scammy.
- ams6110 9y agoSadly, "very strict laws" don't have much ability to prevent data breaches due to zero-days or simple incompetence.
- sulam 9y agoSure, but they didn't give data to a credit agency. That would require consent, and even if you assume they ignored HIPAA, if they'd done it for one daughter they'd have done it for both.
