I’m happy to see that I was one of the lucky people

To see if you’re affected and to sign up for 2 years of Free Credit Monitoring:
https://www.equifaxsecurity2017.com
Once you press the Enroll tab and fill out the requested info,
you’ll receive something like this:

I read that if you do that you can’t sue.
It’s the same type of disclaimer you sign when you go into an Amusement park.
Amusement parks still get sued. 
You’re right Bob. But I read that there’s a class action lawsuit that was just filed and that if you use their offer then you can’t be a part of the lawsuit. So I don’t know what to do at this point. I don’t know if I should sign up or wait awhile.
What you should do is to check if you are affected. You don’t have to sign up for the free credit monitoring.
I signed up since a class action suit usually makes a lot of money for the law firm and a little piece of the pie is doled out to those that are part of the
class action suit. If you have any actual damages, you should be getting your own attorney.
“2). NO WAIVER OF RIGHTS FOR THIS CYBER SECURITY INCIDENT
In response to consumer inquiries, we have made it clear that the arbitration clause and class action waiver included in the Equifax and TrustedID Premier terms of use does not apply to this cybersecurity incident.”

@Patrick238,
I clicked on your link and got this popup with sound.
As of 11am this morning, Avast will not allow connection to www.equifaxsecurity2017.com …states that site is infected with URL:Mal
You can report a URL here: https://www.avast.com/report-a-url.php (Probably a FP)
Same thing here. On top of that, on an Android tablet, when I went to the Equifax web site and clicked on the redirect to the page that has the check on whether your data was breached or not, the https connection reverted to a straight http connection and the Chrome browser put up a warning that the site was not secure and a risk. Equifax could not suck enough!
Seems to be fixed, no warning anymore.
Whilst I don’t get an avast alert, now Firefox doesn’t like it
Hi Dave, it works for me, no FF warnings/problems here. Cheers
Aren’t you still on the ESR Firefox version (as in your signature) ?
On this win10 laptop I’m on the latest regular release version of firefox 55.0.3.
Yes, I am.
I just wonder if that might be the difference, I will have to try it on my XP system.
OK, interested to hear the outcome.
Avast blocked it for me too, said URL Mal. How do you get it to stop? I’m not sure which part is blocking it.
