Are you one of the near 700,000 UK residents who lost personal data when the USA arm of Equifax was hacked?
Did you know that Equifax was holding your data and that some of it was held outside of the EU and the control of our data privacy laws / regulations?
So far, by way of compensation, Equifax is offering free access to most of their services to help you monitor any further breach and / or illegal use of the information they lost. Does that seem reasonable to you? If so will you trust them with more of your data so that they can "help"?
The breach was in May 2017, but only now are those affected being told and only recently has the FCA begun an enquiry. Is this acceptable?
