This is a big one guys: with 146 million registered voters in the US, losing the SSNs, birth dates, full names, and addresses of 143 million people equates to almost every American voter's sensitive information being compromised. Here are the recommended actions you should take in order of effectiveness, severity, and paranoia:
- Monitor your financial accounts, and ensure they require personal security questions for access.
- Sign up for a credit monitoring service (not owned by Equifax).
- Register with the three reporting agencies for fraud prevention, which requires authorization (usually by phone) to open new accounts.
- Register for a credit security freeze, which prevents new accounts from being opened ("nuculer option").https://securingthehuman.sans.org/b...s-what-to-communicate-about-the-equifax-hack/
