Obligatory "I am not a lawyer," but it appears if you sign up with their online form for the monitoring you're agreeing you can't later bring suit against Equifax or be part of any class action against them: https://trustedidpremier.com/static/terms "This arbitration will be conducted as an individual arbitration.

Hi Dan: Thanks for reminding and sending. One of the questions I am wondering is if we are putting our data "back in danger again" by providing this information? :) Regards, Roy On Fri, Sep 8, 2017 at 11:49 PM, Jones, Dan J <djjones () wpi edu<mailto:djjones () wpi edu>> wrote: This link will allow you to see if your data was included in the breach and to sign up for monitoring. https://www.cnet.com/how-to/equifax-hack-find-out-if-you-were-one-of-143-million-hacked/ Dan Jones Worcester Polytechnic Institute -----Original Message----- From: The EDUCAUSE Security Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU<mailto:SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU>] On Behalf Of Valdis Kletnieks Sent: Thursday, September 07, 2017 9:12 PM To: SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU<mailto:SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU> Subject: [SECURITY] Equifax gets pwned... hard. Not *directly* a higher-ed issue, but it's big enough that the fallout is going to be on *everybody*s radar. "Equifax, one of the three major consumer credit reporting agencies, said on Thursday that hackers had gained access to company data that potentially compromised sensitive information for 143 million American consumers, including Social Security numbers and driver's license numbers. The attack on the company represents one of the largest risks to personally sensitive information in recent years, and is the third major cybersecurity threat for the agency since 2015."
