Equifax said data on 143 million U.S. customers was obtained in a breach. (illegals, government)

It concerns me that unscrupulous people probably in hacker paradise in China, Russia, or Africa have this information Now what are they going to do with it.

funny thing is you can't. you can't hear a damn thing, it is all in your head. I see posts here all day long where Right wingers talk about the left whining when not a single "leftie" has whined...

I think you rightie folk need to go get good jobs and stop relying on us "coastal elites" to prop up this nation.. we are sick of shipping our cash to your broke red states.

I just read that 2 class action lawsuits were filed.

I did go to that site to find out if your data was stolen.
Entered the info and the reply I got was that it "may" have been breached so go ahead and sign up.

NO..I want to know if my data was stolen ..yes or no. Not "maybe" and sign up in which you waive any right to join any class action lawsuits.

I did not enroll and won't unless my info was actually stolen which Equifax can't seem to determine.

I did the security check thingy.

first time said .. Hacked.

but next time said not.

so did it again said not.

so did it again said hacked.

so did it again sad not.

same for my partner, Hacked, not , not ,not ....

pretty random if you ask me.

Remember folks you can add challenge response to a lot of financial accounts. and you can even get pure offline accounts.

Thanks.


The message I got was:


"Based on the information provided, we believe that your personal information was not impacted by this incident."


Woo-hoo. Dealing in cash helps.

This is the awareness people need to know about.

I detest credit bureaus they own ya --make your life miserable even if you are a hard working good person - From Harvey and IRMA there will be bankruptcies and losses-- and after the storm is over you will get kicked in the AXX for ten more years. because that credit card bill will need to pay for a hotel you NEVER intended to use-- or now the gas is $5 a gal and you not getting paid, because the workplace blew away!!!
They determine your job ,insurance rates, interest rates- and trying to rebuilding anything -- 10 freaking years- I detest them
who gave them SO MUCH authority???

Right now you need to be extra careful because disasters like this bring out the scum in droves. Protect your identity and only sign up for LEGIT help...there's so much out there that looks legit that is not. With a hurricane like Irma, a lot of people are going to get scammed.

And when will you be evacuating?

In particular, users can check if their information have been compromised by going to equifaxsecurity2017.com. You have to enter some personal information. In some cases, Equifax tells you to sign up to TrustedID Premier, an Equifax service. And if you look at the terms of services of TrustedID Premier, it says you can’t participate in a class action:

Sneaky I know!

Good catch. Need to share this info far and wide before people sign up for their pathetic "free monitoring". I'm supposed to trust them after this huge breach and the execs sneakily sell off shares? Of course they didn't sell off a huge chunk, that would have been way too obvious.

I did it twice and got "maybe" both times. Will try again later.

Why can't they tell you it was or wasn't? I'm with you, because I'm suspicious of their motives to get us to sign up for their service.

LOL Is that all you want? Should be prosecuted. They have already made big $$$$ from inside trading. Probably do not need the current job.
