9 EQUIFAX BREACH IMPORTANT!!! WORRIED ABOUT THE EQUIFAX BREACH? HERE S SOME INFO THAT CAN HELP! By Connie Thompson, KOMO 4 news. By now you probably have heard that credit monitoring company, Equifax, has had a security breach that exposed the Social Security numbers and other sensive informaon of about 143 million Americans. The breach exposed consumers names, socials, birth dates, addresses, and in some cases even drivers license numbers. This data can be a key to identy the. So what can you do? There s no evidence that personal informaon has been impacted so far. But we also know that criminals oen wait as long as 6 months to sell and use what they get from data breaches like this. Equifax is offering FREE ID-The protecon and FREE Credit File monitoring to every consumer in the United States. You must enroll to get in. The enrollment deadline is November 21, You can get more informaon at Equifax.com You can also contact the dedicated call center at Equifax says it has hired a private cybersecurity firm to invesgate and is working with Law enforcement, including the FBI. Some more Helpful informaon for you: If you are planning to purchase anything that requires Credit, you may want to hold off on pung the protecon on your social. Once you have placed that protecon, you will no longer be able to get credit instantly. So for example, if you are going to buy a car, you will have to wait unl your identy can be verified before any loans may be put into acon. Same goes for simple things like just geng a new cell phone. You wont be able to just go in and get a new phone. There will be a lot of hoops to jump through to make that happen. However, it is also always beer to be protects than to be sorry later. SPANA-PARK SENIOR CENTER PAGE 9
