Although I'm not sure if this site is any more secure.
Ain't no way in hell anyone should enter any part of their Soc# on that shit.

Trump's group of people responsible for cyber security all quit because they said he didn't take it seriously.
Hopefully the next president will push for all consumer data to be encrypted.
Its not like you have a choice for these fuckers to have your information... so what exactly are they going to do to protect half the US from this shit, issue a "we are sorry"?
I used it, but it only gave me a message saying I could enroll in their TrustID thing on 9/12. So based on the instructions, I assume I'm safe, but really they probably don't know everyone that could possibly be affected anyway.
CNN is reporting that "residents in the U.K. and Canada were also impacted."
I don't see any support for those locations though...
The information accessed primarily includes names, Social Security numbers, birth dates, addresses and, in some instances, driver's license numbers. In addition, credit card numbers for approximately 209,000 U.S. consumers, and certain dispute documents with personal identifying information for approximately 182,000 U.S. consumers, were accessed. As part of its investigation of this application vulnerability, Equifax also identified unauthorized access to limited personal information for certain UK and Canadian residents. Equifax will work with UK and Canadian regulators to determine appropriate next steps. The company has found no evidence that personal information of consumers in any other country has been impacted.
What's the best case scenario if your information was part of the breach?
Aside from freezing my credit, what can I possibly do? Just monitor things and if something happens go from there?
Apparently it doesn't even tell you if you were affected either way. It just signs you up for their monitoring service (which likely won't do anything either). Fucking Equifax.
So is this site secure?
HOW DO I PASSWORD RESET MY SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER?!

It is linked from Experian's main site. But Experian...So is this site secure?
No it's a phish attempt! Don't fall for it.
It's an official Equifax site, so no.
It is linked from Experian's main site. But Experian...
Experians main site was down for me earlier, though.
Based on the companys investigation, the unauthorized access occurred from mid-May through July 2017. The company has found no evidence of unauthorized activity on Equifaxs core consumer or commercial credit reporting databases.
The information accessed primarily includes names, Social Security numbers, birth dates, addresses and, in some instances, drivers license numbers.
How is this not more closely monitored ?
I know EQUIFAX/EXPERIAN/TRANSUNION share the same API for developers and websites that monitor credit reports and what not (banks, loan offices, etc)
Why aren't they testing for possible breaches against their own infrastructure ?
Test for vulnerabilities on all their clients before any websites are launched ?
This is seriously a major fuck up in their part

Hm :l
Went to check possible impact and it is taking me to some other site?

Which has an Equifax logo on the top though. -_-
Some people were saying it's not even telling you if you were affected but it's just directing people to sign up for credit monitoring......Went to check possible impact and it is taking me to some other site?

Edit: Unless the direction is an indication you were affected. IDK
Yes. If you're affected, you'll receive credit and identification monitoring for free.

It's legit, Equifax main site links to it via alert message
Because a lot of times companies don't want to pay for independent penetration testing until it's too late. In Experian's case there is really no excuse because of the type of data they hold.
It told me I wasn't affected, but my wife has to come back on the 12th. I assume she was hacked but I wasn't.
Multiple times over.At this point, it is probably safe to assume every American's identity has been compromised with all of these hacks.
Yah Probably me too, fml...I guess I am affected. Fuck
Three Equifax Inc. senior executives sold shares worth almost $1.8 million in the days after the company discovered a security breach that may have compromised information on about 143 million U.S. consumers.
Yeah, there seem to be two separate links. One for checking and one for enrollment.
I really don't want to enter my details on a dodgy url though.
