Issues
Breach occurred in May - July, found in July, made public in Sept
Three executives sold stock. On 8/1 and 8/2 the CFO and two other execs sold $1.8million in stock, which dropped over 10% on the announcment. Equifax claims the officers had no knowledge of the hack
Your information could be in Equifax because they gather information on nearly everyone to sell to credit checking agencies. It knows everything about your credit cards, bank accounts, mortgage, auto loans, everything.
The website to find out if you're affected has some issues
Stock Wordpress
Site was flagged by OpenDNS as a potential phishing site
WHOIS showed domain wasn't owned by Equifax
Site asked for six of nine numbers of social security number
Can state you've been breached using some test info… I believe this is residual from testing, but could show a larger issue.
What to do
Can check to see if you're affected
Be advised the FREE service may turn into a PAID version after a time
Also, read the T&C;'s on what rights you are giving up before you agree…. Rumors of being limited on legal actions against Equifax. It's now being reported that the verbage has been removed, so you are NOT giving up legal rights.
Put a credit freeze on accounts
Don't respond to phishing attacks to give out personal information via text or email.
