This got to be a running joke now. Companies lose the data and offer credit/theft protection than facing the consequences. If Equifax could get away with the giant breach, I am sure Uber will not even feel the heat. smh.
- Jach 9y agoIt'd be nice if I could register for 2FA with all the various agencies. Commenters have suggested paying a fee to 'freeze' credit activities but the process to 'unfreeze' them requires no new information than what's already in most of these leaks...
- theDoug 9y agoI moved to the US in April was and shocked by the Equifax breach, but more surprised to hear from a coworker how often these “free credit/identity monitoring for a year” situations occur. One co-worker is covered by no less than four groups who failed to look out for him earlier, all for trusting companies to not screw up PII or remember that data is a liability.
- vthallam 9y agoYeah, this happens a lot here. I mean the cheapest and most effective way for companies to get away.
