    Am I going to get another free year of credit monitoring?

    Awesome. Wow. 🙃

    I feel like I get another free year every year from different companies.

      I don’t even check anymore. I get a credit / “your info was found on the dark web!” Email literally every week, what’s the point. I’ve been fucked by giga corps and I have nothing to show for it besides weekly notifications of my compromised info

        My favorite is when I get emailed by “hackers” who have one of my old passwords. 🤣

            Dude that’s totally a scam. I’ll do it for only $399.99 but I also need your mother’s maiden name and your favorite book for some reason.

        And the best part of that is, who ever authorized these credit bureaus to monitor and maintain your credit info in the first place. (Spoiler alert: no one.) And they get hacked every other year anyway.
