Try to learn something about everything and everything about something.
Don't be surprised if when you enroll you receive an enrollment eligibility date 6-7 days from now.
And if you want to freeze your credit, they'll charge you. You must enroll in all 3 to freeze your credit securely. What a ;swear racket.
A security breech that they admit to, that they'll let you address in a week or so, and then they make a wheelbarrow full of cash charging those affected to freeze the credit information that they allowed to be breached.
Perfect.

I don't think the enrollment is automatic anymore; but good information regardless. Some have had unauthorized credit attempts already.

"We're Just Trying To Feed Our Families" - Equifax Hackers Demand $2.6 Million Ransom In Bitcoin | Zero Hedge
" Two days after credit-monitoring company Equifax revealed that, because of its staggering negligence, hackers had managed to penetrate the company’s meager cybersecurity defenses and abscond with up to 143 million social security numbers and a trove of other personal data - including names, addresses, driver’s license data, birth dates and credit-card numbers - the cyberthieves responsible are threatening to sell the data to the highest bidders unless they receive a ransom payment of 600 bitcoin – worth about $2.6 million, according to CoinTelegraph.
In the ransom note, which was published on the dark web, the hackers said they were just two regular people trying to get by – and that, while they don’t want to hurt anybody, they need to monetize the information as soon as possible. They promised to delete the data as soon as the ransom was received.
"We are two people trying to solve our lives and those of our families.
We did not expect to get as much information as we did, nor do we want to affect any citizen.
But we need to monetize the information as soon as possible.” "

don't forget the terms and conditions of the checker page where one voluntarily agrees to not join in a class action. But Equifax might not mean that.

I heard on media that Equifax makes you give up rights to sue them if the provide 1 year of protection. So, now the bad guys have everything about my financial history and we get is one year of coverage. No thanks. Ill join the class action suit about their negligence if someone starts using my data improperly. I'm already a member of My ID so I'm already monitored in real time. Just FYI.

Yes, I heard the same thing FS. Signing up for their offered protection also includes waiver to sue them later. A huge racket!!
