@SpaceLifeForm @hello

I accepted an offer of free credit monitoring services once when I was really ticked off about a breach and wanted the entity to have to pay for it. But nowadays, I just keep a security freeze on my credit reports.

Speaking of which, Tom O'Malley had a good post in which he recommends that people put security freezes on all 6 of the following:

๐Ÿ‘‰ Experian
๐Ÿ‘‰ Equifax
๐Ÿ‘‰ TransUnion
๐Ÿ‘‰ Innovis
๐Ÿ‘‰ NCTUE (phone, utilities)
๐Ÿ‘‰ ChexSystems (new bank accounts)
