Hurricanes and forest fires have given this a back seat in the media, but this is big and ugly. I checked and our credit data MAY have been breached.. www.consumer.ftc.gov/blog/2017/09/equifax-data-breach-what-doProbably going to have to put a freeze on our credit reports.. If you all haven't already you might want to check yours too. |

Not been stolen, yet. Just who stole all the information, and do they plan on using some medieval torture, as they should, in order to pin down the ultimate person responsible?

I did the credit freeze thing a couple years ago for all 3 reporting agencies. Only had to unfreeze it once when I did my home equity line of credit. Then refroze it immediately.

I've tried three times to freeze mine today at all three places and i cant. I think they are overwhelmed right now. Maybe get up at 1 am and do it?
I did get a credit report and nothing fishy was on there..

On top of the fact that we have ZERO choice in how these companies collect and disperse our data, three of the executives that work for this company sold a couple of million dollars worth of stock between the time this happened and the time it went public...
Ridiculous....

I froze mine on TransUnion..
I cant get the others to come up.
After typing in my information Equifax says they "cant process it now .Try again later."
Experian wont even open the freeze page..
Overloaded? Maybe set the alarm for midnight and try it then?

Do not go to their site. They have no security. They use Java and Apache two of the best software for hackers to hack into. No company should be using this old non security software.

If it is Equifax and Experian how else can I freeze my credit? Both. I don't think we can freeze our credit. They both us software from the 90's. Should be a criminal investigation and CEO/Owners put in jail for a long time. I'm a member of CSOC/ICE-CERT for our company IIOT Web Cloud soft wares. We are in the process of removing JAVA from of systems. |

We are in the process of removing JAVA from of systems. If i find out how and or more I will let everyone know. There is so much going on it's hard to tell if Experian is safe. This data breach has been going on longer than they are telling us. With Java you can't see or track if anyone breached the system. I got a good feeling this breach is not the 1st. |
