Thats very very cool!


Not sure if you have heard, but LSU has taken a pretty innovative step
toward mitigating the impact of a data breach on its campus.  We have
purchased a full site license to provide all of the LSU faculty,
staff, and students with free credit monitoring through Equifax. While
we realize this isn’t some panacea to prevent a breach or an identity
theft,  it does empower our community members so that “when” a breach
occurs (and it really is a given – we’ve been very lucky so far), they
are already prepared. Feel free to check out our program:
creditmonitor.lsu.edu, and I’d be interested in any feedback.  Thanks.
