Feels like we’re fighting a losing battle.
And my free credit monitoring continues. Â
Stacking my free credit monitorings like casino chips
I have like 3 letters sitting on my desk right now from different companies that have mismanaged my data and lost it. I will never have to pay a dime for credit monitoring for as long as I live.
Something tells me that companies cannot be trusted to safely manage all the data they harvest. There needs to be more serious repercussions for this.
if you havent locked your credit yet. you are so far behind. its easy. quick. and gives you peace of mind every time this happens. anytime you need to use credit, you can temporarily unfreeze. its just what consumers have to do now to have any sort of protection. the corps dont care.
Best time to freeze your credit was X years ago. Second best time to do it is today.
At this point i guess i just assume all my personal information is just freely out there.
Updated with response from Fidelity. Corrected fourth paragraph to note that the two Fidelity accounts were created, not breached; this was due to editor’s error. ZW.
So -the article is nothing?
OK, fine them $100K per exposed customer. Or some multiplier against the actual data elements exposed.
Crazy how I learn this from reddit not an email directly from them.
