PSA on the Equifax breach:

You can enter most anything into their "check if I've been breached" thing and it will say you've been breached.

The whole site they set up is just a scam to force people into signing up for their "identity protection service." You get a year free but you better believe they'll start charging you for it after that, and the opt-out process is never easy.

Don't buy into it. Just keep an eye on your credit report and credit/bank account statements.

@mawr It'll also void your ability to sue them over the breach. :/

Also, that site runs Wordpress. XD
