>>62308191

>>62308198

because people don't understand something's an issue until something actually happens

>>62308202

One of the fucking credit bureaus got hacked. In other words unless you are ultra NEET you are probably affected

Best part about this whole thing is that this happened between may-june and the Executives waited until now to sell there stock before telling everyone they're fucked. Made 1.8mill

If everybody's hacked, nobody's hacked.

>>62308198
at a certain point, when everything in your house is on fire except for the kitchen sink, you say "fuck it"

>Mfw I only have a Transunion credit reportt

>>62308916
are u trans?

>>62308933
Just a trap :v)

Good thing I have no credit history.
Probably never will.

>>62308198
can someone tell me how people can see shit like this and then question why using unique passwords for each login is a problem?

>>62309123
Lastpass could get hacked since the data is kept online.

I think G likes Keepass since the key is on your SSD

>>62309146
Lastpass's sole focus is security. That's all they do. Yes, they could be hacked, and they have been in the past, but they've been exceptionally transparent about fixes and working with project zero.
Feel free to use keepass, that works too. Way less convenient and the responsibility is entirely on you.

is there a way to check if this shit affected me without having to use my SSN?

I know equifax themselves set up a form where you put in your last name and last 6 digits of your SSN but considering this fucking retarded breach I don't really trust potentially giving them any part of my SSN (don't have any credit cards nor have I used anything related to equifax to my knowledge but I've heard that this breach can affect pretty much anyone due to equifax's scope as a business)

>>62308692
Gee, I wonder if they happen to belong to a certain (((category)))

>>62310942
Jew don't mean..?

>>62310884
Don't be naive
Even if they tell you it didn't affect you, unless you're a homeless child or an immigrant, it affects you
That "did it affect you" check is just so they can limit who they have to pay for for the identity protection service

>>62310884
Lawsuit is already started, if you sign up for it you give up the right to arbitration. Not only are they forcing their TrustedID shit on you when you sign up for it, you're also giving up the chance to join a class action lawsuit against them.

>>62311100
I think it just gives you a date when you can sign up, I don't think you're automatically signed up completely for it.

>>62308296
Stop cussing; it makes me f-flinch.

Nothing to hide nothing to fear

>>62309123
>unique passwords for each login
I just assume most of my accounts could be hacked and use shit passwords. I only use a good pass on something I need to be secure

Is there any possible way to know If I am affected yet?

>>62311216
ITS SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS, HOME ADDRESSES, NAMES, BIRTHDATES.

"Equifax was founded in Atlanta, GA, as Retail Credit Company in 1899. The company grew quickly and by 1920 had offices throughout the US and Canada. By the 1960s, Retail Credit Company was one of the nation's largest credit bureaus, holding files on millions of American and Canadian citizens. Even though they still did credit reporting the majority of their business was making reports to insurance companies when people applied for new insurance policies including life, auto, fire and medical insurance. All of the major insurance companies used RCC to get information on health, habits, morals, use of vehicles and finances. They also investigated insurance claims and made employment reports when people were seeking new jobs. Most of the credit work was then being done by a subsidiary, Retailers Commercial Agency.

Retail Credit Company's extensive information holdings, and its willingness to sell them to anyone, attracted criticism of the company in the 1960s and 1970s. These included that it collected "...facts, statistics, inaccuracies and rumors… about virtually every phase of a person's life; his marital troubles, jobs, school history, childhood, sex life, and political activities." The company was also alleged to reward its employees for collecting negative information on consumers.

As a result, when the company moved to computerize its records, which would lead to much wider availability of the personal information it held, the US Congress held hearings in 1970. These led to the enactment of the Fair Credit Reporting Act in the same year which gave consumers rights regarding information stored about them in corporate databanks. It is alleged that the hearings prompted the Retail Credit Company to change its name to Equifax in 1975 to improve its image."

I guess I deserve what happens to me for not doing the research on these dumbfucks before I used them on my annual credit report.

LastPass stores your encrypted blob. The security is handled locally (with their apps/browser extension).
