Even if you are possibly in the affected group, what are you going to do? The offer of 1 year free monitoring, is a joke. How much of the stolen data will expire, or be of no use to anyone after a year? The thieves could just sit on the info, and then in two years put it to use to steal money.
Our whole financial system is setup to welcome thieves. Accounts, especially credit, should require much more positive ID to open. And second, the way bank transactions needs to change.
all someone needs to get your money, is the bank routing numbers, and account number (the numbers on the bottom of your checks). Then they (Through a place that has access to the financial system) can tell your bank to transfer the money to them. I think that is backwards, it should be me telling the bank to give them, the money.
