Did you get hit with the Equifax hack?(or who didn't)

It most certainly was correct, I read the clauses myself. Now they say that they never intended for those clauses to apply. BS. They are in damage control mode now, and will do and say whatever is necessary to weather this.

The two executives who were " shown the door" actually retired. Did they suffer any financial hit to their retirement compensation? I doubt it. They also say the executives who sold stock didn't know about the data breach. I don't trust them.

I find the fact that this data breach was due to a vulnerability in Apache Struts to be particularly troubling, as I have been applying vulnerability patches to that product for at least a couple of years now.

Considering the type of personal data collected by Experion, Trans Union, and Equifax there is no excuse for this type of data breach. None.

The part about signing away your rights is no longer correct, if it ever was. They specifically mention that in their FAQ.

I would also recommend a security freeze over credit monitoring. It may not be for everyone, but it's stronger peace of mind than monitoring, which only notifies you after something bad has already happened.

"they" (website link) say I was not affected. Wife either. Hope that's right.......

No, anyone they had data on, customer or not.

Yep, I was one according to their site, but by that same site, my wife wasn't. Go figure. Everything we own is in common so not sure I even trust their verifying system. I got assigned a sign up date and when it came I did sign up.

The security people were shown the door. The official Equifax tools were broken. They were spitting out random info. Many people that checked were randomly assigned info sign up dates. Now the government is checking on the executives stock dump before going public the hack.
