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:
๐ Experian
๐ Equifax
๐ TransUnion
๐ Innovis
๐ NCTUE (phone, utilities)
๐ ChexSystems (new bank accounts)
