Find Out If You Will Get $125 from the Equifax Data Breach [LINK]

There have been quite a few friends on my Facebook timeline bragging that they are getting back $125 from Equifax credit reporting company. Apparently, there was a cyberattack on the Equifax computer drives in 2017, but the company hid this news from their nearly 147 million customers. All kinds of customer information were accessed by hackers, including "names, Social Security numbers, birth dates, addresses, and in some instances driver’s license numbers, credit card numbers" and more, according to the settlement's website page.

I checked the eligibility tool and found that my info was not affected by the hack. It wouldn't have mattered much if it had been-my credit is pretty shot, so the hackers would be extremely disappointed if they tried to get anywhere with my credit identity! The joke would have been on them, ha, ha!
