@SpaceLifeForm @hello

I accepted an offer of free credit monitoring services once when I was really ticked off about a breach and wanted the entity to have to pay for it. But nowadays, I just keep a security freeze on my credit reports.

Speaking of which, Tom O'Malley had a good post in which he recommends that people put security freezes on all 6 of the following:

👉 Experian
👉 Equifax
👉 TransUnion
👉 Innovis
👉 NCTUE (phone, utilities)
👉 ChexSystems (new bank accounts)

To learn more, see Tom's website at frozenpii.com
