The Equifax Data Breach: What to Do

My guess is it won't take too long until there are only two credit reporting agencies. This is probably going to bankrupt Equifax.

It could really come to light when tax time rolls around and fake tax returns are submitted.

Clark Howard (consumer guru in Atlanta) recommends opening up a CreditKarma.com account for free credit monitoring, and then freezing all three reporting agencies. He has links on his site Clark Howard. I've had CreditKarma for many many years and regularly go in look over all three reports there for free. They update it frequently.
