I agree about the info being stolen is gone for life.
Nothing I can do about that or you or anyone else either.

The question remains: WHAT do we do to protect ourselves NOW and later?

WHATEVER course this Equifax breach and what THEY offer or do not offer to the victims is all out there and up for grabs.
WILL my WANTS and preferences be fulfilled? Who knows. And WHEN??

The longer we wait and delay the more open we are to having someone from around the globe pretending to beme, you, anyone.

So what to do NOW to get some semblance of lock down on our identities and credit? I cannot wait in Equifax. Nobody SHOULD.

So, I am looking at alternate ways to try to control and minimize the exposure...

The courts and the company are going to be some time sorting out all the other things...

re: "First thing to do is sign up for the free Credit and identity protection from Equifax for a year."

Sure. Because whoever stole my address, DOB and SS # won't care about that information anymore once a year is up, and won't be patient enough to wait to try to steal from me.

Equifax owes everyone credit and identity protection for LIFE.

Meanwhile, I think it's time for Social Security numbers to be scrapped and replaced by something better. It shouldn't be possible for someone with a little information to claim that he's me and get away with it. Two factor authentication requires TWO of the following before identity is established: Something you have (i.e. a badge), something you know (i.e. a password), something you are (i.e. fingerprints.)

It's time to replace our obsolete personal security.
