PO1 Tony Holland SGT David A. 'Cowboy' Groth Yeah - go to their site and put myself at more risk. Adding fuel to the fire, per the article, consumers can't even sue for damages.

Sure, consumers should take prudent precautions to protect themselves and their credit.
BUT - all financial institutions should double or triple their efforts to prevent fraud resulting from this loss of personal information. THEY are the ones who are left holding the bag in most fraud cases; not the victims of identity theft.
Why are we, the consumers whose personal information has been compromised by this breach, responsible for requesting a credit freeze? Why isn't that freeze imposed by Equifax for every individual involved, with an opt-out feature for those that, for whatever reason, do not want their credit frozen, fraud alert procedures placed, and extra security measures taken?
