Good thing I have lifelock

Good question.

any good "off the grid" stocks? Does gold go up when confidence in tech security goes down?

I went to their website and typed in my last name and last 6 of social. Said I was likely not affected.

You can check to see if you were part of the breach here.

They're offering some free credit monitoring services to those potentially impacted by the breach. Personally, I was clear, but my wife was not so we signed her up.

If you go to there site LINK to supposedly see if your info, SS number was a part of this. it gives enrollment in complimentary identity theft protection and credit file monitoring. I did it and it says come back 11 Sept.

If I didn't get a special message does this mean I am in the clear and can still get their identity check?

It tells you before it gives you an enrollment date if you were affected. Unfortunately, I got the "We believe you may have been affected" message on the page right before my enrollment date.

I'm affected.
