Holy Eff... they better offer some sort of identity theft monitoring to everyone.

The bigger crime is insider trading dumping of shares is going unpunished.

If they were unaware of a data breech that affected 150 million people 3 days after it happened they either should be fired for massive incompetence, or charged for insider trading.

Mostly Americans affected:

. The company has found no evidence that personal information of consumers in any other country has been impacted.

When Home Depot online shopping got hacked, they offered a years worth of identity monitoring from Equifax. I signed up as I bought a few things with the CC

I imagine Equifax will do the same.

Hmm, do I want free protection of my credit, or $50 worth of class action after the lawyers take the lions share and the rest is split between 150 million people?

Fine print....

If you check your name on that site to check, you basically agreed to give up your right to sue.

Lawyers are working to get that fine print removed. Because you know lawsuits are coming.

Fine print, like that ever stopped anyone from suing.

TLDR, the site to check if you are hit is just a random result generator.

If you ask me, its a much much bigger catastrophe than an LA earthquake. The second you can't verify someone is who they say they are, by the most important metric that is measurable (money and credit) then the entire structure of trust dissolves. How do I know I'm not sending $100 to Khadafi or Saddam instead of $100 to a seller on Amazon for a toaster? If a $100,000 loan is taken out in your name and not paid back, it might just screw you over to ever get a mortgage for your lifetime. Even worse, If I owe $1 to Guido the enforcer, and it accidentally goes to someones grandmother instead - am I going to wake up with a severed horsehead in my bed.

People with F credit ratings can pretend to be A credit rating people at whim, suck it dry. Otherwise the only thing left to do, is not lend money to anyone - which would absolutely destroy commerce everywhere on the planet.

That's right, there is no way to tell. This is one of those scenarios where you have a potential nuke equivalent in the financial system. Retards all.

The US media is massively underplaying this, because I think they know the game is now over. Printing a Trillion dollars out of thin air? That's just normal shady business, its not even a hand grenade compared to this nuke of a whale.

As an example: I'd be willing to bet a white Ohio farmer would love to have the economic stature of a native Hawaiian welfare recipient. Heck, I'd love to be a Hawaiian welfare recipient, being so high on the pedestal of economic power.
