Im sure you’ve seen the headlines: 143 million identities stolen! The Equifax hack is a HUGE problem! So far, nobody has really been affected (we hope!) but its not IF..its when. Sooner or later people will start feeling the pain of a compromised identity.
The first thing you can do is create a ‘fraud alert’ on Transunion https://www.transunion.com/fraud-victim-resource/place-fraud-alert. Once you’ve placed a Fraud Alert, you can choose to remove it at any time online.
There is also a way to possibly profit from this fiasco: Civic https://www.civic.com/
Its a secure identity platform using block chain tech that offers the possibility of a new and more secure identity system. I believe this project might receive strong interest as more and more people’s identity gets stolen!
