Thank You

So I still have no idea if I'm affected by this breach. I'll check back on 9/11 (lovely date to pick) and see what I find out. Good luck to everyone else.

From the equifaxsecurity2017 main page:
Equifax will send direct mail notices to consumers whose credit card numbers or dispute documents with personal identifying information were impacted. Equifax also is in the process of contacting U.S. state and federal regulators and has sent written notifications to all U.S. state attorneys general, which includes Equifax contact information for regulator inquiries.

The service where they monitor your credit is TrustedID Premier, which includes five complimentary offerings.

Concerned customers can call 866-447-7559, which the company set up to assist consumers. The call center is open every day (including weekends) from 7:00 a.m. – 1:00 a.m. Eastern time.
