Yeah, supposedly the exploit was already under active use 4 months(!) before disclosure: Massive Equifax hack reportedly started 4 months before it was detected | Ars Technica

Never liked companies where "you" are the product(see Facebook/et-all), their incentives are not aligned with keeping your data secure.

Not surprised about the exploit 4 months before disclosure ... can you spell INCOMPETENCE? The credit bureaus have the same business model as the hackers, steal your data then sell it... both are vultures fighting over the same data spoils.

I froze mine at all 4 credit agencies. The fourth one is Innovis. I didn't know about this one until I read several articles about the problem.

I did the same. Apparently there is the Big 3 who work together and Innovis is the red-headed stepchild the others ignore? :confused3:

That is good stuff, but for the more technologically inept, do any of you have the numbers needed to freeze credit accounts on the four data basis and could you share them?
