Just got an email from US-CERT forwarding a FTC alert stating that you should use Equifax to monitor the effect of the Equifax breach on your credit accounts?!?!?!
See this line in the email…
Alternative security recommendations include using fraud alerts and free credit monitoring from Equifax.
Forgive me if I don’t get it. But this seems to me like letting the doctor that left the scalpel inside your gut, go back in for another try. It is the industry standard to have an outside agency or company monitor a break of this magnitude. Until they have proven they have fixed the breach AND a resolution has been implemented for ALL those that have been affected.
jeeesh !!!
