How big of a deal is the latest equifax breach? Checked and I am "potentially affected" according to their site. Should I sign on for the free identity protection they are offering?

No. They're under fire right now bc in the fine print of the ID protection, you are waiving your right to take action against them/be part of the class action lawsuit. Just google it, a million articles are out there about this. They recommend putting a credit freeze for 90 days on your accounts, and checking credit report with one of the other agencies regularly

You should do it. Doesn't prevent a class action lawsuit for the breach.

EY1, they've already clarified it. The TOS only says arbitration for the service itself, and does not prevent anyone from taking part in CA lawsuit for the breach.

How did you check

EY1 is dead on

How do you institute a credit freeze? I am in the may be impacted group

1. Anyone affected will need to watch literally for the rest of their life
2. The class actions against Deloitte and Equifax could put both out of business

Haha A5, this is America. This is like the 10th major data breach. They have all gotten of scott free. What make you think this is the time that regulators or the courts will hold anyone accountable.
