Alleged hack of credit bureaus TransUnion and Experian.
Hackers claiming possession of consumer data to be released or sold if ramson ($60M) is not paid.
Legal obligations under section 22 of the Protection of Personal Information Act.
The allocations may or may not be true.
A recommended practice for all 4 credit reporting bureaus:
Every few months check to see if you requested alert, freeze, or block is still in place AND you are able to use your PIN.
The dilemma: Freeze "They" can access your information.
The attackers have your PIN so "they" can unfreeze the re-freeze your access.
TransUnion, Experian, Equifax, Innovis.
