Take their credit monitoring. And yea, freeze your credit on the big three. That day has come, IT security is fucked, and will be for quite aome time. Also get some identity theft insurance. Check your renters or your home owners....often already included. If not add it or look at lifelock or someone like that.

It isnt so much that you will loose money, its that your life will be hell for years if you get hit with an identity theft. Total unimaginable hell.

I know I am total dummy when it comes to these matters. But can you explain it in a little more dumper version. Few essential steps to take.

I heard on the credit monitoring depending on what you sign you may give up the right to sue or class action. Also it was offered for one year, then your identity info's still out there but they auto charge you for year 2. they may have gotten enough beef and changed the tune.

So using the link that Equifax supplies to check if your information has been impacted by this. I entered 3 different false names and number and all 3 of them gave me this message.

don't enter any kind of info to their site (real info) and do not sign up to their protection.  you forfit your rights to sue them once you agree to their terms and conditions. they're telling people all over the news to be aware of their clause.  so far experts are telling people to freeze your credit and keep checking your bank accounts daily.  all 3 of them do charge you to do freeze your credit though.
