Another massive data breach has occurred. This time, one of the three primary credit records companies, has announced that almost half of all American’s personal information INCLUDING Social Security Numbers, have been stolen from Equifax. Because the information includes names, addresses, SSI, credit card numbers and more, this breech may cause more harm to individuals than any previous cyber attack.
One thing you shouldn’t do about this? DON’T click on any website that promises to show whether your account is one of the stolen records. Some of those sites will definitely be set up to capture more information about you and won’t even be related to the Equifax.
What should you do? Equifax has set up this website you should use to check your account status.
