oh, FFS Equifax, can't you do anything right?
"If you don’t already have an account at the credit bureau’s myEquifax portal, it may be simple for identity thieves to lift an existing credit freeze at Equifax and bypass the PIN armed with little more than your, name, Social Security number and birthday."

@0x56 its the perfect business model. since most if not all of the identity protection services you pay for pay them for the monitoring capabilities.
Its like modern day mafia movie crap. Pay for "protection" or my thugs might rough you up.
@0x56 Dammit, you know there’s no damn way to get away from these credit companies except to have no credit.
