I swear I heard somewhere (maybe here or on the news) that when you sign up, you basically sign away your right to go after them if anything happens.


THIS!!! this is the kind of shite i'm afraid of because they are making it a little too easy to sign up for their little 'credit monitoring' solution.

They don't even have a very commonly used "I agree to terms of service" check box? I did it Monday and I'm pretty sure that wasn't how it was set up at all, in fact it was purporting to just tell you if you were part of the breach and instead of telling you that it said "you're enrolled as of date" It was most certainly not obvious I was enrolling in something when I entered my information on Monday.

According to this article there is an interim screen with an enroll button after you check to see if you were breached.

I basically went from the check to see if we screwed you screen to the "Thank you you're enrolled screen". I never actually enrolled by clicking an enroll button even though they seem to think I did. This is going to be too big of a frick up affecting too many people for them to hide behind questionably acquired implied consent.
