    Well, not exactly…

    “To ease any concern you may have, we are offering you complimentary identity theft protection services for two years through IDX, a data breach and recovery services expert,” the notification letter continued.

    “This identity protection service includes two years of credit and dark web monitoring to help detect any misuse of your information, as well as a $1,000,000 insurance reimbursement policy and fully managed identity restoration in the event that you fall victim to identity theft.”

      Two years is nothing. It’s literally a pittance in order to silence to plebs.

      My data got stolen from the DOD in 2015, and I still have identity theft protection from it, and STILL have issues pop up every year. Without the last 8 years of protection, I’d be completely fucked.

          You do have a point there. But I have a very poor view of companies and their data breaches, so I’m certainly biased.
