The "offer" to monitor credit is not from Equifax, it is also a scam that is part of the breach. Do NOT put your real information into the site.
No matter what you input, the response is the same. Your browser should have detected the bad security certificate when you entered your information.
Per Brian Krebs, who broke the story and is the leading online security resource.
Also, Krebs also says credit monitoring is worthless in any case, freezing your credit is the only worthwhile solution. See linked story, but comments have the most valuable information, including the discovery of the phishing from the Equifax fake website.

Wrong, some people were notified that they weren't included in the breach.
