Does anyone understand what this means to us and our data? I am wondering...

That means that we are in deep DOO DOO!!!! That anyone can steal your life and get away with it.My credit sucks so im ok ,but if you have a great credit you should do something about it.

I have a credit freeze, so what does that mean? My credit is frozen i might be good. But idk

cali

I guess i have to write to them and find out

change every password you have
monitor your charges carefully
be extra careful about opening any email you are not familiar with
this may not be enough to keep you safe
but it's a start
I have done all of the above
so far I have found nothing wrong
but that is no guarantee

badbobby Loc: texas

that 's okay
til you need desperately to charge something
like maybe a major house repair,or buy a car,or rent an apartment
then you have no credit

cali

Correct. I have no credit. I must write, send massive documentation, and open it for a certain creditor for a window of time. Otherwise, yes, i have no credit. If any creditor tries to access, it is returned as white space with a message that the records are locked federal property.

So how does this situation factor in to the data breach? Any ideas?

The latest data breach is with Equifax, Experion had their's a couple of years ago. I am a victim of both. Equifax is far worse than Experian and exposed the personal data of half of America. What SHOULD happen is the officers of Equifax should do prison time. Not only did the three top officers let our data be displayed online without encryption, after they found out about it, they cashed in two million dollars worth of stock the day before they told the public that there was a breach. Telling us there was a breach drastically lowered the value of their stock so they sold the stock the day before they reported it. Martha Stuart went to prison for insider trading. These three slime ball executives need to wear orange jumpsuits for a long while and the government should take their ill gotten gains to help pay for the problems they have caused. Of course none of this will ever happen. So now I have to pay Life Lock every month to protect myself through no fault of my own. As an IT person myself, this just really, really pisses me off.
