Just before this occurred I saw several ads for one of the three offering a protection service for a monthly fee.
Really? You want me to pay extra to make sure you do your job? CAPITAL B, CAPITAL S.
This should be a HUGE wake up call for anyone including big business and government who is trying to move away from cash.

The reason for a cashless society is government control. No underground economy to avoid taxes. Bet there's 10 other reasons.

Yeah, like shutting off One's credits, bit coins or whatever, when one says or acts in a manner they don't like.

Haven't seen it in print - but was watching a news program that interviewed the CT Attorney General and he said that's absolutely false that you can't take part in the class action if you sign up,for,the protection.

...and how about the recent ads for one of them to do "dark web" searches for your info.
...for a fee, of course.
What TOTAL BS.
If it was easy to find that info, then they're in dereliction of duty.

I'll try to find out more but Phillip DeFranco video said so much stink was raised over the issue of sign up for protection = opt out of class action they removed it and replaced with opt out within 30 days by snail mail.

*****UPDATE*****
I know, I'm a little late on posting this but here's an email I received after signing up for Trusted ID which is Equifax's free credit monitoring service.
Dear Roger,
On behalf of all of us here at Equifax, I want to express my sincere apology to you and anyone affected by our recent data breach. I can assure you that our number one priority going forward is taking care of you and giving you better control over access to your Equifax credit report.
We realize that you likely enrolled in TrustedID Premier reluctantly, and unfortunately it may not have been an easy process. At first we were not fully prepared for the volume of calls, visits to our website and emails received in response to the breach.
This is changing right now.
We have rapidly hired and trained more customer care agents and invested in our infrastructure to make sure that your experience with us moving forward is fast, easy and reliable. That is our pledge and my personal commitment to you.
I encourage you to review the information about your TrustedID Premier product below, and log in today to familiarize yourself with its features. We will provide you with additional information over the coming weeks to help you get the most out of your product and help you better protect your identity.
While it is under extremely unfortunate circumstances, we are glad you signed up for TrustedID Premier, and I promise to keep you updated on our progress making it the best it can be. We are grateful for the opportunity to demonstrate that we care about you, that we are committed to earning your trust and that we will continue to work with you to help better protect your personal information.
Sincerely,
Paulino R. Barros, Jr.
Interim Equifax CEO
How We Can Help
Your TrustedID Premier product provides a number of tools to help you better control access to your Equifax credit report and monitor your credit. In addition to the product highlights below, you may log in directly to your account for further information.
3-Bureau Credit File Monitoring
Once your TrustedID Premier account was activated, we started monitoring your credit files across Equifax®, Experian® and TransUnion®. We will alert you if changes occur such as a new account added to your credit file or someone accessing your credit file.
Ability to Lock and Unlock your Equifax Credit Report
Locking your credit report restricts access to your credit file by third parties, with certain exceptions.1 You can then unlock it when you are going to apply for a new line of credit, such as a car loan, mortgage or new credit card.
$1 Million Identity Theft Insurance
You are covered by up to $1 million in ID theft insurance. This helps pay for certain out-of-pocket expenses in the event you are a victim of identity theft.2
Log in to your TrustedID Premier account today to learn more about your product and view your Dashboard.
1 Locking your credit file with Equifax Credit Report Control will prevent access to your Equifax credit file by certain third parties, such as credit grantors or other companies and agencies. Credit Report Control will not prevent access to your credit file at any other credit reporting agency, and will not prevent access to your Equifax credit file by companies like Equifax Global Consumer Solutions which provide you with access to your credit report or credit score or monitor your credit file; Federal, state and local government agencies; companies reviewing your application for employment; companies that have a current account or relationship with you, and collection agencies acting on behalf of those whom you owe; for fraud detection and prevention purposes; and companies that wish to make pre-approved offers of credit or insurance to you.
