[WSBAPT] Equifax

[Lisa E Schuchman]

Hi, all,

Does anyone have experience with dealing with Equifax and its security breach letters?  My client got a four-page "informational" letter explaining the breach, what information of his was stolen, and recommending what he could do.  He asked me for help, but I don't really know what to tell him other than to freeze his credit.  The breach was in July, 2017, but they recently discovered more consumers who were affected.  Any thoughts about the usefulness of or concerns about a freeze?  Other thoughts on the subject?

Thanks.
