Just found out about #Equifax db of paycheck data called The Work Number No shocker to anyone that putting a freeze is nearly impossible and no one knows how to do it Only reason freezing credit report is easy is because lawmakers forced them to This should be next on the list #TWN

@camless You're welcome. And if people have children or relatives who may not know about this, you may want to check for them and opt them out of nationalpublicdata.com, too (see https://nationalpublicdata.com/optout.html).

Then also help them create security freezes.

Parents of young children: Check to make sure your kids' info isn't in the nationalpublicdata.com site. Opt them out if they are. Then:

Your kids should not have a credit report unless you authorized them to use a credit card or something. But they may also have a credit report if their identity info was obtained and misused.

Check to see if they have a credit report by contacting the major credit reporting firms. You may have to mail the request for Equifax, but you should be able to check online for Experian and TransUnion .

To be proactive: freeze your young child's credit report.

Vollautomatisierte #KI-#Cyberangriffe als Prototyp: Wissenschaftler von der Carnegie Mellon University haben den 2017er Datenskandal bei der US-Wirtschaftsauskunftei #Equifax nachgestellt, indem sie ein LLM vollautomatisiert einen Cyberangriff koordinieren und durch #AI Agents durchführen ließen.

Das Ergebnis war erfolgreich. Obgleich unter nicht replizierbaren Laborbedingungen durchgeführt, zeigt das Szenario auf, in welche Richtung Cyberangriffe künftig gehen könnten:

I was excited to get notice of my share of a distribution in a class action against Equifax.

My share: $0.03.

Maybe that will make affordable that nice Romanée Conti at Auberge de l'Ill in Alsace. I'm almost there. Just another $28,693.97.

How ironic: you're so good with money that you don't need credit for two years...as a result #Equifax WIPES YOUR RECORD and renders you, essentially, a bad credit risk.

If you do not use credit, you could lose your credit score rendering it impossible to get credit.

Dang guys, #Equifax has some *serious* phone call security. They send you a one time code to verify your identity *to the phone number they literally just said "looks like you're calling from... Is this your number?"* 🤦🤦‍♂️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♂️🤦

Thank you for verifying I am me by texting the phone number you know I, a stranger to you, are *currently* calling you from. You know, instead of a number that <my real name> has *previously* given you for identification. Separately from this call. With a person whose identity you have not confirmed.

Only took me two months to extract the entire $7.44 settlement from #Equifax from the virtual spending card they gave me, but I did it. Take that.

Fin de la surveillance Equifax gratuite pour les clients Desjardins. #equifax demande $30 / mois pour ça, idem pour #transunion. Au Québec une loi force les agence de crédit à geler notre dossier de crédit ce qui devrait empêcher un fraudeur d'obtenir du crédit sous notre nom. On peut aussi accéder au dossier gratuitement pour le vérifier périodiquement. Il faut se créer un compte sur les 2 agences: https://my.equifax.ca/dashboard et https://secure-ocs.transunion.ca/secureocs/home.html?lang=fr. C'est bien expliqué: https://lactualite.com/finances-personnelles/fin-de-la-surveillance-equifax-de-desjardins-voici-une-option-de-rechange-gratuite/

I don’t ever remember opting in to having #Equifax or any other #credit #reporting agency collect my information and then sharing it with others.
