This may be a bit out of scope for LWN, but considering the severity of the crack, I thought posting this info would be useful:

Freeze your credit reports. Here is a great overview:

* https://krebsonsecurity.com/2015/06/how-i-learned-to-stop...

* http://krebsonsecurity.com/2015/11/report-everyone-should...

Direct links to freeze pages:

* Equifax --- https://www.freeze.equifax.com/Freeze/jsp/SFF_PersonalIDI...

* Transunion --- https://freeze.transunion.com/sf/securityFreeze/landingPa...

* Innovis --- https://www.innovis.com/securityFreeze/index

* Experian --- https://www.experian.com/freeze/center.html

These people sell your historical info for other slimy junk:

* Chexsystems --- https://www.chexsystems.com/web/chexsystems/consumerdebit...

You can opt out of yet other junk from Experian, Equifax, Innovis, and Transunion here (this is different from credit freeze):

You can get a free annual credit report from this Congress-mandated site:

Thanks very much for this compilation, very useful (and close enough in scope for me anyway)!

I second the appreciation. Much easier than digging around.

Although I did check the TLS certs on a few links (they looked good - just sayin' best practices for all the other lazy people like me clicking on links on bulletin boards..)
