In lieu of the recent data breach at Equifax, what is everyone doing to safeguard themselves against identity theft?
Personally I have instituted a fraud alert on my credit as well as freezing my Credit Reports with the 4 major Credit Services.
I am curious if others have some good ideas that I have not seen or read about I would like to hear them. This data breach is potentially serious shit and if not taken seriously could cost you dearly.
Putting a fraud alert on your record is easy. Contact one of the big 3 credit services and they will communicate it with the other two. You will also need to contact Innovis as they do not work with the so called big 3 services. This is important. You qualify for this if the Equifax web site is telling you that your information has been comprimised.
Get crackin' This shit is no joke. It could cost you dearly and things can go south in a hurry.
