Thank you sir, I was on the list and now will have free monitoring.  Appreciate it!

I was fortunate...so far. Signed up for up to 10 years of free monitoring.

Helllllllll naw.  duzn't seem risky sticking SS# into wbsite that also requests my name?

We've had several identity theft things over the past couple of years. In one case, somebody filed a federal tax return in my name claiming a big refund when we actually owed money. Of course, that was detected by the IRS. Our credit cards (not lost or stolen) have also been abused several times.

The form says that our data was apparently part of the breach, but how would there be any possible way to know whether a particular problem was due to the Equifax breach? Anyways, I filled out the form and will see what happens...

Not sure that I see great value in credit monitoring by a company that can't keep its own data secure...

I believe it only asks for last 6 digits of the social security number. An enterprising cyber-criminal can probably get more useful info than that with a couple minutes of Googling...

The first four years of credit monitoring supposedly include all three bureaus.

Interesting article. I believe it is in reference to the original subject?

Yes. Confusing writeups, IMO.
