      Those fuckers got away so nicely for having such shitty security practices. They have the nerve to ask me to sign up for a paid subscription every time I log in to check my score with them.

      Motherfucker, I don’t even want to use your services for free. I’m required to as long as I have to play the credit game and it’s honestly really unfair you get to stay in business and barely got a slap on the wrist for all the shit you caused for millions of people.

      Yep, I’m in the unlucky half. It’s good practice anyway, but now I keep my credit frozen at all three credit bureaus unless I’m submitting an application. Doesn’t stop all fraud, but stops most of the kind that can fuck up my credit.

      That’s only from one breach. I’d wager that at least 75% of our SSNs are out there since this is constantly happening.

      I mean, it’s not like an SSN is secure at all. Add 1 to your SSN and that’s most likely a completely valid number for someone else
