I'm not giving them any of my info to see if I was impacted because it is pointless. I monitor my credit through my credit card and they alert me to any positive or negative changes.

no 100% protection but better than nothing. Govt better make them pay and make HUGE changes to all 3 bureaus so if ur id is stolen, you're not spending YEARS undoing the damage and dealing with creditors.
The rich and middle class are the most concerned, so expect govt to do something. It's poor people govt does'nt give a chit about.

Not everything needs to be homegrown. And even if it is, that definitely doesn't guarantee you're free of vulnerabilities. You could argue the opposite actually

Its a scam. You can enter a fake name and a fake SS into the "CHECKER" and it will come back as compromised. They are getting people to sign up for their credit card protection service. Then one year from now you will get a bill in the mail.
Also why would you try waive your rights to sue them? For a 1 year of credit monitoring by a company that got hacked?
I verified that if you put in the fake credentials it came come back as a compromised. Also look at their stock sells as a company, they had a huge stock sell off last year, when the stock took a hit they bought it back low, next year they are looking at significant profit.

2. The terms state that you don't forfeit your right to enter a class action.

So your options are to either freeze, or use CreditKarma and identity protection services to monitor.

he got an interview and got hired pending background check, background check came back and failed due to his social security being linked to these 6-7 people.
he lost the job cause of it.
brb IRS is gay and decides you owe taxes and withholds refunds because some illegal is earning money at a job with your social security and not filing any taxes... my bro gets letters from the IRS asking for thousands, he calls but nothing they can do about the other illegals using his social.. weird huh?
oh yea someone can file taxes under your social and steal your refund..
captial one may tell you something happened, but once someone is using your social there is nothing the government currently does to fight back against this.

- yes and freezing is your best bet (unless you are currently apply for loans/credit card).
- But definitely do the whole credit monitoring thing especially since they took over a month to come out and admit what happened. So, if you haven't been affected yet you could and it can happen at anytime (tonight, next week, next year, 15 years from now,,,etc)
This is why this is such a big deal, because you just don't now when you're going to get fawked.
