Oh, another big data breach. Just wondering, does anybody pay for their own credit monitoring? I have had “free” credit monitoring for years, all paid for by companies that should have been keeping my data more secure.

@mjdescy I was thinking the same thing as I just got wind of the breach.

@mjdescy Same here. In fact I have multiple overlapping monitoring services due to this. Plus it is included free with my AAA membership. It’s all pretty worthless though because our credit files are all locked.

@ronguest @mjdescy @poetalegre I’ve been using the free services but am seriously considering paying for a service.

@mjdescy I do not think that any of the credit monitoring services are worth paying for. Go read krebsonsecurity.com , Brian has a lot of suggestions!

@Bobfa Thanks for the link to Krebs. I will have to check that out. I've read lots of his other stuff in the past.

@ronguest I had forgotten about the credit monitoring included in my AAA membership. Thanks for reminding me!
