Comment by Fredselfish@lemmy.world on 2.9 billion hit in one of the largest data breaches ever

Oh well I feel at this point every man woman and child already had this done to them in United States and our government not doing shit about it.

Hi Steve. Have you heard from Tom? Been a while.

This one is way more than just the US.

Stack on another “Free monitoring, 2 years”

If I get to use them consecutively, I’m good for a few lifetimes.

Just got this bullshit offer from Ticketmaster for one of their breaches and they are only offering 1 year free credit monitoring.

It’s better than the previous class action which got you nothing but a slight discount on a future Ticketmaster purchase to a very select number of concerts.

I read “free credit monitoring” as allowing your name to get on another list to be sold.

Don’t worry. Their is a service that monitors your information that you give credit monitors. You just have to give them your information.

And I’m sure they’ll delete it in two years so you’re not included in the breach 3 years from now 🙄

Yeah not sure I even care enough to take advantage.

Just freeze your credit. It is the simplest and easiest solution. It sucks, but it seems to be the best utensil to eat the shit sandwich we’ve been fed.

It doesn’t even suck that bad. Last time I had to unlock mine, I saw that the previous unlocking had been two years earlier. Each time I have to do it, I set an end date and it automatically relocks. Whole process takes maybe 10 minutes for the big 3 credit bureaus.

What if this was just a scheme to get everyone free monitoring

Put a credit freeze on all 3 credit agencies.

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
