It's already a really bad situation in the USA. Hurricanes tearing up the seashores in the southeast and fires in the west and northwest. Then I find out that sometime tween May and July Equifax was hacked and they waited until now to clue us? What's up with that? Cheeeze, we really don't need this right now. Because many of us have limited knowledge about the implications of a credit bureau bein hacked like this I thought I'd share a website that might help you. I'm still trying to make sense of it but I also called all my creditors just to make sure things were ok on my accounts. The comment was made on Facebook that this breach could also impact UK and Canadian citizens.

@rebelann .. Well, I would recruit somebody to periodically check the efficacy of the software's integrity, and not one...everybody would have to keep tabs, while doing other jobs.

This is true @pgntwo we do tend to expect an awful lot of these kinds of services though, they're the ones who have access to everyones credit history.

@rebelann Security is only as good as the weakest link, which, more often than not, is the human element...
