Massive Credit Breach at Equifax
You can sign up for free credit monitoring.
One of the three major credit bureaus, Equifax, has reported a hack that could impact over 140 million Americans. It is incredible that this could happen, but we will save that for another day. First, you need to get protection lined up.
It is important that you do this for not only yourself but for your kids. College students are easy targets for identity theft. And most college students are a bit too busy or distracted (read: Mom and Dad, you might want to be proactive here).
The website for help to check your social security number and name is:

Signups are being "throttled" so you might only get a reservation date.
I suggest you also check minor children. Equifax claims that's not necessary, but right now they don't have much credibility.
Thank you,
