Hey Mike and JeffS!
Did you get your
POTENTIAL COMPROMISE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
…email from Uncle Sam yet? Major Dad did. We’re both locked on and the first bureau contacted has to set you up with the other two. (Kcruella, Cullen, Robb and Beer Brains should probably call Equifax, too ~ 1-800-525-6285 ~ if they haven’t already, to set up the fraud alerts, since it was 26.5 MILLION prior service social security numbers that went missing first. The 2.5 MILLION active duty types were a ‘whoops, oh by the way…’ they found later.)
Of course, Equifax is losing no time shilling their $129/yr ‘monitoring’ service. In chaos there is profit. Personally, I think the VA ought to be forking over the cash, since it apparently fosters a corporate climate where it’s okay to head out the door with almost thirty million lives on a laptop and think nothing of it.

Yep, got mine. Just haven’t done anything yet. I will soon though.
Takes 3 minutes on the phone. And, if you hang up right after they give you your confirmation number that it all took, you don’t have to listen to a native of India sell you a 12 month monitoring service for a one time only patriotic special fee of $129.
Haven’t gotten mine yet, THS, but I got your e-mail. Thank you! I’m forwarding it to veterans of long standing I know who might be far down on the mailing list.
I didn’t know about the active troops who were compromised as well. Too bad flogging went out of style as a punishment for misdemeanors a long time ago. That cretin who lost the data deserves 100 lashes.
I got mine over the weekend.
Well, not MINE, but D’s.
Lisa, you can update it on the 800 number that’s on the email, if he can’t get to a phone. Email me and I’ll tell ya what ya need.
Kcruella got her letter too. I’m the only you-know-who that hasn’t gotten hers.
No one loves me…or cares about me. I’m busting into my faux powdered mini donuts.
::sigh::
Nah, they’re just scared of you. Your info is probably going to be mailed to you with a note reading, “We didn’t do a thing, we SWEAR.”
