Equifax states its due to some update that was never fixed, changed, or whatever excuse they can come up with. With multi billion dollar lawsuits coming their way, One thing that has been learned is lack of leadership on their side will cost them heavily as they try to crawl back from the ditch they have created
Protect yourself
I suggest everyone who hasn’t signed up for complimentary protection to do it soon, just in case you information does leak out there. It will help protect your credit which is needed when you go buy or rent or need finance for a car loan , home loan, or any other loan that you are after. Protect your self as companies these days are lacking in that department.
