I already had credit monitoring I pay for every month plus I signon to my financial institutions every morning to see if there's any unusual activity. I also have a credit freeze since I don't plan on borrowing anything for awhile.
The problem is that Equifax invited hackers in with their porous security which exposed private information of yours, mine, and every other adult in the country. Thought you had frozen your credit with them? The password they generated could be figured out by a child hacker let alone Russians and Ukranians, the "best" hackers.
I hear the government is trying to figure out a better identifier than a SSN. I'm not holding my breath.
