  1. Freeze your credit, there’s no downside unless you’re doing a lot of hard credit checks (which would be abnormal): https://www.usa.gov/credit-freeze

    It’s free, easy, and protects you. It’s a no-brainer.

    Really disappointing that this is now the second day in a row that I’m sharing this link, for the Comcast leak yesterday, and now MoneyGram. When will these orgs be held responsible with effective punishments?

  2. At this point the Social Security Administration should just start over and issue new numbers that are illegal to be used for any other purposes.

  3. Leaks will continue so long as the only recourse is a “whoopsie daisy, here’s a year of identity theft protection and credit monitoring, now go away”.

    Companies are not punished for losing your data and so they will continue doing so

  4. Fine, massive fine.

    Every time this occurs, the penalty should be at least a base amount of fine per piece of personal data exposed x the number of unique data entries. Start with 10K per data element and fine these businesses to the extreme – money transfers, banks, telecoms, insurers, etc.

    Reminder: Check if you’re affected. Freeze credit reports. Change passwords.

    OOPSIE! Our Bad!

    Here, enjoy a free year of pointless credit monitoring that is also a borderline scam.

  7. I think we are running a mass data migration operation. Or we are in a massive cyber war.
