Bummer. I was looking forward to stacking on some more “free” credit monitoring.

I’m going to guess that “free” is quoted because of an experience similar to my own. I signed up for free credit reporting after a breach years ago. Months later they started to deduct around $12 a month from my account. It was free with a monthly subscription following. If that’s still a thing the credit bureaus are making serious money from these leaks.

I wouldn't be shocked if those services are compromised.

There is no reason for things to change if the liability is not on the company that loses the data.

However, the IRS assigns $0 to data. So long as that's the case there will be no liability.

At this rate I'm going to be covered for the rest of my life.

Maybe I should get into the credit monitoring business. Seems like the average person will end up with many lifetimes worth of 'free' monitoring from settlments.
