Equifax Data Breach. Our Personal Identity is exposed!

My expectation for Equifax and other credit reporting bureaus is high to protect our personal information e.g. Names, Social Security Number, Birthdates, Addresses, and in some cases Drivers License. These information are very important and needed to open a credit card account, get a car loan, and obtain a mortgage. Guess what, those information are stolen about 143 Million Americans, almost half of US Population. This was discovered between mid May to July 29, but only announced last Thursday September 7, 2017.

This was acknowledged and announced by Rick Smith, Chairman and CEO of Equifax posted a video at their website https://www.equifaxsecurity2017.com.

Keep in mind, our social security number and birth date will not going to change. So, our personal identity is exposed forever.
