Experian data breach, 15 million T-Mobile customers data stolen

[elyn02]

Surely, T-mobile is not the only company who uses Experian. Is there any reason why only T-mobile customers are affected?

I got a letter in the mail about this from T-Mobile. It just wasn't T-Mobile, but other companies who use Experian for checking credit check. They are giving a free 2 years to sign up. T-Mobile was going to take Experian to court, but settled with giving people with T-Mobile a free 2 year sign up with them from what my friend told me.

I didn't and I don't think that I will

Experian leaks data so the solution is to sign up for credit monitoring by Experian and giving them even more info?

Hmmm

Well, don't forget they released a heartfelt apology, after all, the security of people's data is of the utmost importance to them... [/s]

Better than nothing, but not better than putting in a credit freeze with all three credit agencies.
