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:

"This arbitration will be conducted as an individual arbitration. Neither You nor We consent or agree to any 
arbitration on a class or representative basis, and the arbitrator shall have no authority to proceed with arbitration 
on a class or representative basis."

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

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."

Be prepared for all sorts of identity theft attacks and very customized phishes.....
